Innovation and Personalized Treatments in Spine Tumor Surgery: Pathology, Biomarkers and Genetics
Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Daniel Lubelski discusses the importance of pathology, biomarkers and genetics in treatment of spine tumors. Immunotherapy and targeted therapies are used to approach tumors that have been bio-banked and gene-sequenced, resulting in a tailored treatment plan. This, combined with advanced medical and surgical options, is leading to the best possible outcomes for patients with spine tumors.
