Brief Summary

The investigators are prospectively validating a prognostic clinical tool that uses a patient's modified Bauer grade, ambulatory status, and pre-operative serum albumin to predict survival, post-treatment morbidity, and functional outcomes in patients with metastatic disease involving the spine.
