To improve the understanding of the characteristics of rare pancreatic cancer spinal metastatic disease and share our experience in coping with this disease. Although spinal metastasis of pancreatic cancer is extremely rare clinically, and the prognosis of the primary tumor is very poor, pancreatic cancer spinal metastasis has received insufficient attention in clinical practice and is only described in a limited number of case reports or series. The purpose of the present study is to discuss the clinical features, prognostic characteristics, and treatment of individuals with pancreatic cancer spinal metastases.
