Everything to Know About Spine Tumors Health Articles | March 2, 2017
When there is a tumor on the spine, patients usually complain of a constant ache or pain around where it is placed, plus shooting pain when body movement occurs. A spine tumor, put simply, is a mass (growth of cells) inside or around the vertebrae of the spine or the spinal cord.
Other than feeling pain from the site of the tumor, symptoms include nerve compression that makes the limbs feel weak or sore, chills and night sweats when sleeping, and increased back pain when lying or sitting down. Sometimes there is no pain at all. The tumors are diagnosed by an evaluation of the spine. Starting with a physical examination, your neurologist will check your spine for any tenderness, internal or external sweeping, and measure the strength of your limbs and back. Further examination that can be done includes testing senses such as pain and pressure sensitivities, motor strength, and natural reflexes.
Sometimes x-rays are necessary to diagnose the size and type of tumor, and a further MRI will be ordered to examine if it is localized or spreading. Depending on the size and type of tumor will depend on what the best treatment options are for your unique case.
There are two types of tumors our physicians look for: benign and malignant. Benign tumors are the ultimate hope, as they do not spread from their location. However, they can still be aggressive locally, so they are treated seriously so we can make you and your spine healthy again. Malignant tumors are cancerous and are able to spread their cells beyond the original location. However, whether or not it ends up growing, a tumor located on the spine can be life threatening or cause a disability. Therefore, each case is treated with importance and our neurosurgeons will work overtime on your case for the best possible outcome.
Sometimes small, benign, non-symptomatic tumors are not treated further than keeping an eye on them. If the tumor has spread to the spine from other sites within the body (known as metastatic tumors), then your neurologist will suggest radiation or chemotherapy for treatment. Tumors that interfere with your daily activities are treated by surgery for removal, while working with restoring the nerves and spinal curvatures. Surgery will help the patient maintain or gain back strength, prevent paralysis and progression, and improve the overall function of the spine.
