Guo W, Gao X, Wang D, et al. - Researchers investigated if the quality of life of patients with proximal humerus metastasis could be improved via performing surgery using cement spacer. In this retrospective study of a total of 34 patients, the surgery group comprised 15 patients and the non-surgery group comprised 19 patients. Evaluation was done using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General questionnaire. Outcomes support the value of surgical treatment using the cement spacer for upgrading and maintaining quality of life for these patients in the 9-month assessment.
