Core Tip In oncological spine surgery, cage selection must balance mechanical stability, fusion biology, and postoperative tumor surveillance. Titanium cages provide superior strength and osteointegration, particularly valuable in multilevel or structurally compromised reconstructions, but may impair imaging due to artifact formation. Polyetheretherketone cages allow clearer radiographic follow-up and reduced stress shielding, though their bioinert nature may limit fusion in irradiated or bone-compromised patients. Individualized implant selection - potentially incorporating hybrid technologies - remains essential to optimize both mechanical and oncological outcomes.
