Check out our research fellow’s recent publication Ahmad Essa Quantifying the Association Between Surgical Spine Approach and Tracheostomy Timing After Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury - PubMed pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38456683/

Our study quantifies recent trends in the incidence and timing of metastases to the spine. This is a growing population of patients, that are becoming more elderly at the time of diagnosis, and will need multi-disciplinary #cancer care.
