Spinal Tumors
Spinal Tumors
A spinal tumor is a growth that develops in the spinal cord or the bones and tissues of the spine. Spinal tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and they can affect the spinal cord, the nerve roots, and the bones and tissues of the spine. Spinal tumors can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the location and size of the tumor, including pain, weakness, numbness, and problems with bowel or bladder function. Treatment for spinal tumors may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. It is important to speak with a doctor if you are experiencing symptoms that may be related to a spinal tumor.
What can cause Spinal Tumors?
The exact cause of spinal tumors is not always clear, but they can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Genetic mutations, which can cause cells in the spine to grow and divide abnormally
- Exposure to certain chemicals or substances, such as tobacco smoke or radiation
- Infections, such as tuberculosis or HIV
- Congenital conditions, such as achondroplasia or neurofibromatosis
In many cases, the exact cause of a spinal tumor is not known. It is important to speak with a doctor if you are experiencing symptoms that may be related to a spinal tumor, so that a proper diagnosis can be made and appropriate treatment can be provided.
