Overview
Spinal cord cancer is a devastating form of cancer that is caused by malignant cells infiltrating and damaging the spinal cord. It can cause loss of sensation and mobility, pain, nausea, weakness and, in severe cases, paralysis. Additionally, it can lead to a variety of other physical and psychological complications. Despite advances in treatment, it is still a difficult condition to treat, with high mortality rates. Treatment usually involves a combination of radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy. Early detection is the key to successful treatment. As such, regular medical check-ups and self-examination are important to diagnose it in the early stages before it metastasizes. Through advances in research, more effective and less invasive treatments are being developed to help improve patient outcomes.
