Understanding Spinal Tumors

Spinal tumors are abnormal growths that develop in or around the spinal column. They may be:

  • Benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous)
  • Primary, originating in the spine
  • Secondary (metastatic), spreading from other areas such as the lung, breast, or prostate

Tumors may be located:

  • Intramedullary (within the spinal cord)
  • Intradural-extramedullary (within the spinal canal but outside the cord)
  • Extradural (outside the spinal canal, often in the vertebrae)

As these tumors grow, they can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, leading to discomfort or serious neurological symptoms.

Symptoms of Spinal Tumors

Spinal tumors may present with:

  • Persistent back or neck pain—often worse at night
  • Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms or legs
  • Muscle weakness or coordination issues
  • Balance difficulties or frequent falls
  • Loss of bowel or bladder control
  • Unexplained fatigue or weight loss

If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, especially in combination, early evaluation can help prevent permanent damage.

Treatment Options at NYSI Bronx

Our Bronx team designs personalized treatment plans based on the tumor’s size, type, location, and impact on your spine and nervous system.

Non-Surgical Approaches:

  • Observation for slow-growing, non-aggressive tumors
  • Radiation therapy in collaboration with local oncology partners
  • Chemotherapy when part of systemic cancer care

Surgical Interventions:

If the tumor causes significant pain, neurological symptoms, or instability, surgery may be recommended. Our spine surgeons specialize in:

  • Spinal decompression to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves
  • Spinal stabilization or fusion for structural support
  • Kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty to treat fractures caused by tumor-affected bone
  • Tumor resection when removal is safe and beneficial

All treatment is designed to preserve mobility, reduce pain, and restore function wherever possible.
