Abstract

Extradural tumors are within the spine but outside the sac (dura) are the largest group, accounting for up to 55% of the spinal tumors. The majority of extradural tumors represents metastases while the primary extradural spine tumors are rare, and there is little high-quality evidence outlining the optimal treatment for these lesions. Extradural intracanal portion of the spine tumors poses significant challenges to surgeons as the aim is to achieve satisfactory surgical outcomes with clean tumor margins while minimizing morbidity. Improvements in radiotherapy technology, advances in chemotherapy, novel molecular drug targets, and other multimodality protocols may increase survival rates.
