The spinal pain may be due:
In destruction of the anatomic
vertebral elements as a result
of metastases
Resulting spinal instability
The pain is possible to occur
as a result of:
compression
or
infiltration of the spinal
cord – nerves from neoplasmatic
masses.

Tokuhashi, Y. et al, Spine 1990
Total score versus survival period:
9 to 12 points > 12 months survival
0 to 5 points < 3 months survival
35. Tokuhashi’s criteria allow the
definition of a pre-operative strategy
and therefore considerable variability
in the choice of treatment ranging:
excisional operation should be performed
on those who scored above 9 points
a palliative operation should be
performed on those who scored under 5
points

36. Simpler system of preoperative
evaluation based on only three
parameters:
the degree of malignacy
the presence of visceral metastases
the presence of bony metastases.
