https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gant61.html Retrospective Cohort Study. To describe surgeries and treatment outcomes of metastatic pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) on the spine. We reviewed a cohort of 18 patients with spinal PPGLs who were consecutively treated in our spinal center. Their clinical data was reviewed. The survival period and its relevant factors was then analyzed. The cohort included ten cases of pheochromocytomas and eight paragangliomas. The local pain and neurological deficits were the two most common symptoms. One third of the spinal PPGLs were diagnosed as functional tumors, arousing secondary hypertension. The imaging features were consistent with those of osteolytic lesions. The surgical strategies for the cohort included percutaneous vertebroplasty, neurological decompression and partial tumor resection, and total resection. The postoperative courses were uneventful except 1 patient developed heart failure. The adjuvant therapies were implemented in 6 patients with 131I-MIBG, five with radiotherapy, two with chemotherapy, and 1 with target therapy. The median survival period was 39months, and the overall survival rate of 1year was 77.8% (14/18). The patients' Karnofsky performance scores were positively correlated with the survival period ( < .05). Surgery is indicated for intractable local pain and neurological impairment in the patients with spinal PPGLs. Palliative surgical strategies, including neurological decompression and partial tumor resection, could bring fair outcomes, especially for the patients in poor physical conditions.
