Overview
Spinal cord cancer is an aggressive type of cancer that affects the spine and can be difficult to diagnose. Diagnosis involves physical exams, imaging studies, and tissue biopsy. Symptoms of spinal cord cancer may include pain, weakness, and difficulty walking. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Making an accurate diagnosis is essential to providing the best possible care for a patient with spinal cord cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment can help improve the long-term prognosis, so it is important to seek medical consultation if any symptoms arise.
