Spine and Spinal Cord Tumors

Spinal tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the spine, originating either directly from spinal structures (primary tumors) or spreading from other areas of the body (secondary or metastatic tumors). Primary tumors may arise from bones, nerves, or soft tissues, with types including haemangioma, osteochondroma, and schwannoma among others. Secondary tumors are commonly associated with cancers like breast, lung, and prostate, that metastasize to the spine.

Patients with spinal tumors may experience chronic back or neck pain, significant weight loss, difficulties walking, numbness, weakness in limbs, urinary disturbances, and pain that intensifies at night. These symptoms vary based on the tumor’s location and type.

Diagnostic and Treatment Options:

Diagnosis involves comprehensive testing, including CBC, ESR, CRP, and imaging such as MRI, CT, and PET scans. Treatment strategies depend on the tumor type and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and monoclonal antibody therapy, which are all determined by a multidisciplinary tumor board.
