ABSTRACT
Spine is the primary bone site affected by systemic metastasis. Although there are scales that attempt to manage these patients, their real applicability is unknown. The Tokuhashi Scoring System (TSS) is a widely used prognostic tool. At the time of treatment, the data necessary to complete TSS may be incomplete, making its application impossible. Objective To evaluate the number of TSS scores completed by the time the clinical therapeutic decision was made. Methods From July 2010 to January 2012, we selected patients who were diagnosed with spinal metastases. Results Sixty spinal metastasis patients (21 female, 39 male) were evaluated between July 2010 and January 2012. At the time of the treatment decision, only 25% of the patients had completed the TSS items. Conclusion In the majority of patients with vertebral metastasis, TSS variables cannot be applied. .
RESUMO
A coluna vertebral é o sítio ósseo mais acometido na doença neoplásica metastática. Embora haja escalas que buscam normatizar o tratamento destes pacientes, sua real aplicabilidade é incerta. A Escala de Tokuhashi (TSS) é uma ferramenta prognóstica vastamente empregada. No momento do tratamento, os dados necessários ao preenchimento da escala podem estar incompletos, tornando sua aplicação inviável. Objetivo Avaliar o número de TSS completos até a tomada de decisão terapêutica. Métodos De Julho de 2010 a Janeiro de 2012, selecionamos pacientes diagnosticados com metástases espinhais. Resultados Sessenta pacientes foram avaliados durante o período; destes, 21 eram mulheres e 39, homens. Até a tomada de decisão, foi possível completar os itens da TSS em apenas 25% dos pacientes. Conclusão Na maioria dos pacientes com metástases espinhais, a TSS não pôde ser aplicada. .
