Case report finds early detection improves outcomes in patients with breast cancer spinal cord metastasis, suggesting better treatment options.
Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare but deadly complication of malignant disease. Regardless of the treatment options, its prognosis is mostly poor as its presence often indicates end-stage cancer. However, with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, selected patients may have better neurological outcome and quality of life. Advanced imaging techniques: mpMRI could lead to improved outcomes for patients by facilitating earlier diagnosis and tailored therapeutic approaches, helping clinicians to better determine treatment options, which is crucial for improving patient outcomes in cases of ISCM.
