Spinal Cord Neoplasms Treatment

Spinal cord neoplasms, or tumors in the spinal cord, can be treated using several methods depending on their type, size, and location. Common treatments include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy to target and shrink it, and chemotherapy for certain types of tumors. In some cases, steroid medications may be used to reduce swelling. Treatment decisions are made based on the specific characteristics of the tumor and the overall health of the patient, with the goal of relieving symptoms, improving quality of life, and preventing further issues. Regular follow-ups are essential for monitoring.
