On the experience of 73 patients, the authors state their guidelines on the treatment of bone metastases on the cervical spine. Most of the cases on which no vertebral collapse occur neither neurological deficit, radiation therapy and external support are suggested. Surgery is necessary on case of severe bone destruction, collapse with or without subsequent neurological impairment. Anterior excision is considered the best approach, sometimes complemented by posterior stabilisation.
