What is Metastatic Cancer of the Spine?

This form of cancer develops in or near the spinal cord or within the vertebrae. It can spread through multiple levels of the spine. It can lead to a wide range of serious complications

Causes

Metastatic cancer of the spine results from cancerous cells spreading to the spine from a tumor in another part of the body. Cancerous cells can spread to the spine by traveling through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system. They can also grow directly through the spine’s openings.

Potential Treatments

Treatment options for metastatic cancer of the spine may include monitoring, medications, and surgery to remove the tumor. A treatment plan may also include options such as radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery or chemotherapy.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Crane! He help me identify my pain and then strategize how I could improve my situation through exercise. It worked. It’s not often you meet a doctor that helps you help yourself and Dr. Crane was that kind of doctor. He is patient, focused, and trustworthy.

Dr. Crane is awesome! He has a fabulous staff and he has a great bedside manner. I have sent some of my friends to him for their spine issues and they have been pleased with his work also. Highly recommend Dr. CRANE!!

Dr Crane fused my back in 2016. No problem with my surgery but I was still in pain. He took the time and energy to find my problem. Which was a broken replacement hip. Got me to a wonderful doctor. Talked to the hip doctor and got me ready for another surgery. He went far beyond his duty to keep me from any pain. To me he is the perfect doctor. 5 years pain free

He's the best doctor I have ever known !!! Very patient oriented. He did my back surgery and now I am back to myself. I would not change anything I am/will always be grateful for what her did for me!!! He's all about his patients and his work! Thank you so much Dr. Crane for being AMAZING!
