Aims
To be familiar with the routes of MSCC prentaion
![Page 3: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
How the guidelines work in practice

Routes of Presentation
Self
referral
A&E
NGH
WPH
CNS GP Community or
Hospital Palliative
Care Teams
Direct NGH
Transfer from DGH
![Page 5: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Generic Interventions
Patient history:
Symptoms
– Duration, intensity, progression
PMH
Co-morbidities, Performance status
Neurological assessment
– Baseline & daily re-assessments
MRI whole spine
![Page 6: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Flat bed rest until spinal stability has been assessed
Pain control
High dose Dexamethasone (PPI cover)
VTE prophylaxis
General Nursing care and psychological support
![Page 7: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Known Cancer Diagnosis
Liaison with Oncology team regarding prognosis
and PS prior to this episode
Surgical intervention
If not a surgical candidate – for Radiothapy
![Page 8: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Not a known cancer
Eliminate cancers where surgery is not necessarily
the primary treatment:
Prostate – PSA and DRI (Degaralix)
Myeloma – myeloma screen + Benz jones
Lymphoma – examination / history, Lymphoma kit
(Chemotherapy is optimal treatment for
Haematological malignancies)
![Page 9: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Consider germ cell tumours (particularly in younger
men) Total HCG, AFP and Plap
CT Chest, Abdomen & Pelvis
If likely Renal Cell – patient will need embolisation
prior to surgery.
![Page 10: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Factors influencing the choice of
primary treatment
Is this a cancer which is better treated by
chemotherapy / hormone blockade?
Is this technically possible?
Is the patient able to tolerate the procedure and
the recovery period? (prognosis / PS)
![Page 11: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Patient symptoms suggestive of
MSCC
High suspicion MSCC / History of cancer with:
NEW onset of pain
Back pain – “band-like”
Radicular pain
Neurological changes
Weakness to limbs
Altered sensation
Urinary / faecal incontinence
![Page 12: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Role of Radiotherapy
Given if surgery not technically possible or due to
patient limiting factors
Post surgery – usually 6 weeks post-op
(rehab and wound healing)
![Page 13: MSCC CARE PATHWAYS & CASE STUDIES case studies...CASE STUDY 1 Case one DT 49 year old Male Presenting to Rotherham hospital worsening back pain Left sided hip and leg pain Clinically](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060523/60524158c6b76826864390af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
