Abstract
Degenerative cervical spondylosis (DCM) is an umbrella term used to describe myelopathy caused by various degenerative changes in the cervical spine. This article outlines the spectrum of DCM and reviews the epidemiology of each factor composing DCM. The uniform term of DCM is expected to elucidate the epidemiology of myelopathy caused by degenerative changes of the cervical spine."Entities:
