This book provides an up-to-date overview on the epidemiology,
clinical presentation, and imaging characteristics of sacral
tumors, discusses the available treatment options, and reports the
published outcomes. The diagnostic roles of conventional radiology,
CT, and MRI are thoroughly described and imaging appearances are
compared with the histologic features. The coverage of therapeutic
approaches includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, radiosurgery, and
surgery (partial or total sacrectomy and spinopelvic
reconstruction). Special attention is paid to the specific anatomic
constraints that make tumors in this region of the spine more
difficult to manage effectively than those in the extremities and
the mobile portions of the spine. All components of the sacrum can
give rise to benign or malignant tumors, which pose significant
diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although these tumors are
often diagnosed at an advanced stage, good clinical outcomes may be
achieved if an aggressive multidisciplinary approach is used. This
book will be of value for a range of practitioners; it will assist
in prompt diagnosis and help to overcome lack of familiarity with
the required treatment strategies.
