Preoperative Scoring Systems and Prognostic Factors for Patients With Spinal Metastases From Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

Revised Tokuhashi scoring system is practicable and highly predictive, while serum albumin and LDH also have prognostic value in patients with spinal metastases from HCC, especially those without visceral metastases. More accurate prognosis may be obtained if the scoring systems include clinical and laboratory data in future.
