Abstract Vertebral metastatic disease results from many types of cancer and can have a devastating impact on patient mobility, psychological health, quality of life, and ultimately overall patient survival. However, the development of radiotherapy and surgical techniques has rapidly surged in conjunction with ongoing advances in basic science and translational studies. In this review, we discuss the paradigm shift in our understanding of the epidemiology and treatment algorithms for spinal oncology, ranging from preoperative optimization strategies, radiation and surgical techniques, the utilization of molecular markers and targeted therapeutics in medical oncology, and prognostication tools that underscore a new multidisciplinary approach to spinal oncology care.
