Metastatic Spine Cancer

Compassionate Care for Metastatic Cancer of the Spine

Metastatic Cancer of the Spine occurs when cancer from another part of the body spreads to the bones of the spine. This type of cancer can cause severe pain, particularly at night or during movement, and may weaken bone structure over time. At iMsk & Spine Group, we understand how physically challenging and emotionally overwhelming metastatic spinal cancer can be, and we are committed to providing compassionate, supportive care focused on improving comfort and quality of life.

What Is Metastatic Cancer of the Spine?

This condition develops when cancer cells travel from another primary cancer site and settle within the spinal bones. As the tumors grow, they may weaken the vertebrae, press on nerves, or affect spinal stability, which can lead to pain, decreased mobility, or even fractures. Metastatic spinal cancer can appear months or years after the original diagnosis.

Common Causes of Metastatic Spine Cancer

Metastatic spinal cancer arises from cancers located elsewhere in the body.

Most commonly associated primary cancers include:

Breast cancer
Lung cancer
Prostate cancer
Kidney cancer
Thyroid cancer

Any cancer that spreads into the bloodstream may eventually reach the spine.
