Spinal oncologist

A spinal oncologist is a medical specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating cancers that affect the spine. They work with conditions like spinal tumors—both primary tumors originating in the spine and cancers that spread from other parts of the body. These specialists use a combination of treatments such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy to manage the disease, aiming to relieve pain, preserve or restore neurological function, and improve quality of life. They work closely with a team of healthcare providers to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific condition.
