Spinal Cord Tumors: Diagnosis and Treatment

Spinal cord tumors may arise within or around the spinal cord and can cause back pain, limb weakness, altered sensation, or difficulty walking.

Treatment

Assessment generally includes neurological examination and MRI, with further testing when needed. Treatment may involve monitoring selected tumors, microsurgical removal when safe, radiation therapy, or other specialist-directed care. Early evaluation can help protect neurological function.
