Molecular pathology of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma: review and opportunities for practice.

abstract：Objective:Treatment advances have resulted in improved survival for many cancer types, and this, in turn, has led to an increased incidence of metastatic disease, specifically to the vertebral column. Surgical decompression and stabilization prior to radiation therapy have been shown to improve functional outcomes, but...
