A spinal tumor is generally a growth develop within your spinal canal or within the bones of your spine. Sometimes, a tumor affects the bones of the spine (vertebrae) and thus referred to as a vertebral tumor. Spinal tumors sometimes might be overlooked because they are usually not common and often the symptoms resemble those of more common conditions.
There are generally two types of tumors:
Intra-medullary tumors: These tumors begin in the cells within the spinal cord itself.
Extra-medullary tumors: These tumors grow in either of the membranes surrounding the spinal cord or the nerve roots that reach from the spinal cord. These types of tumors often affect functions by causing spinal cord compression and other problems.
Spinal tumors or growths of any kind often lead to pain, neurological problems and sometimes paralysis. It can be life-threatening and cause permanent disability. Treatment for a spinal tumor may include options such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy based on the medical condition.
Symptoms You Might Have A Spine Tumor
Please note that tumors arising within the dura are usually benign and slow-growing. Patients with these tumors sometimes have pain for years before any neurological problems occur.
Spine tumor surgery is often the most preferred spine tumor or spine cancer treatment choice for tumors excision from the spine. Advanced methods allow neurosurgeons to reach tumors that were once considered inaccessible. The high-powered microscopes used in such surgery make it easier to distinguish tumor from healthy tissue. In some cases, very high-frequency sound waves might be used during surgery to break up tumors and remove the fragments. However, sometimes when the tumor can't be removed completely in surgery, it may be coupled with radiation therapy or chemotherapy or sometimes both.
