    Full text link
    Metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) is a medical emergency complicating the course of 5–10% of patients with cancer [1]. When diagnosis and treatment is early with the patient ambulatory prognosis for continued ambulation is good [2]. If the patient is nonambulatory or paraplegic, prognosis for meaningful recovery of motor and bladder function is markedly decreased. In the last decade, significant advances in the understanding, management and treatment of metastatic epidural spinal cord compression have occurred.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/45378/1/11060_2005_Article_BF01051052.pd
