Spinal Tumor

What are the Symptoms of a Spinal Tumor?

The symptoms for spinal tumors vary depending on the size and location of the tumor on the spine. The most common symptom is pain. This pain can reside anywhere from your back and neck to arms or legs. Weakening or numbness in your arms and legs can also occur. These symptoms can lead to further issues such as:

• Problems walking or standing
• Paralysis
• Incontinence
• Constipation
• Deformities of the spine.

What Causes a Spine Tumor?

Spinal tumors can many times be benign, but some are malignant. These tumors are generally metastatic tumors. This means that cancerous cells have spread from their primary location and are now growing somewhere else. This happens via the arteries, veins or lymphatic system. An example of a metastasized tumor is when cancerous lung cells are found growing in the spine.

Malignant tumors in the spine can be life-threatening if not found early enough and treated. Due to the function and location of the spine within the body, it is very easy for spinal tumors to significantly affect the quality of life of an individual. If you are experiencing symptoms related to a spinal tumor or have a spinal tumor diagnosis, our multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons can help you today.
