Mr Anwar will discuss the types of metastatic spine conditions which can develop in patients. They could spread from the kidneys, lungs, and bones most commonly, but could also be haematological, lymphomatous, breast or prostate cancer. How the cancer cells metastasize and what it means for the spine once it reaches this area is vital for accurate diagnosis. Mr Anwar uses his wealth of knowledge and experience to explain how to assess your patient safely and how to spot the signs and symptoms.

We also examine diagnosis of primary spine tumours and the red flags to look out for whether they are benign or malignant. Mr Anwar will utilise case studies and an evidenced-based approach with MRI, CT and X-Ray scans to demonstrate his points and explain how to identify the cancers.

Lastly, we delve into the treatment options available, including surgery, radiotherapy and getting the most efficient result from minimally invasive therapies.
