Spinal Tumors

Spinal tumors are abnormal growths that occur in or around the spinal cord and the bones of the spine. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can originate from spinal tissue or spread from other body parts. Symptoms may include pain, weakness, numbness, or difficulties with movement and coordination, depending on the tumor's location and size. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like MRIs and CT scans, and treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Early detection and management are crucial for better outcomes.
