Vertebral instability and the neuroaggressiveness produced by the occurrence of cervical metastasis in a neoplastic patient during remission or quiescence of the disease is rare, but it may negatively influence the prognosis of the patient and drastically reduce his or her life expectancy. The authors describe their experience with conservative or surgical treatment in 151 patients affected with cervical metastases.
