spine tumors

Spine tumors are abnormal growths that develop in or around the spinal column. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can arise from the spine's bones, nerves, or surrounding tissues. Symptoms may include back pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking. Diagnosing spine tumors typically involves imaging tests like MRI or CT scans, and treatment options depend on the type and location of the tumor. Approaches may include surgery, radiation therapy, and medications. Early detection and intervention are essential for the best outcomes.
