Abstract
The incidence of spinal metastasis (SpM) is increasing, and life expectancy for patients with malignancy is also rising. The "elderly" represent a population with steady growth in SpM proportion. Bracing is associated with lower survival. We believe that surgery should be considered, regardless of the patient's age.
