Spine tumors

What Are Spine Tumors?

Spine tumors are abnormal growths that develop in or around the spinal cord, spinal nerves, or the bones of the spine. These growths can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Even benign tumors can press on nerves or the spinal cord, causing pain, weakness, or movement problems if not treated early.

Symptoms of Spine Tumors

  • Constant back or neck pain, worse at night or rest
  • Pain spreading to arms, legs, or chest
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or legs
  • Trouble walking or balancing
  • Loss of grip strength
  • In severe cases: bladder or bowel control problems, or even paralysis

Causes of Spine Tumors

  • Primary tumors – Start in the spine itself (rare)
  • Secondary tumors (metastasis) – Spread from cancers in breast, lung, prostate, kidney, or other body parts
  • Genetic conditions – Some inherited conditions increase tumor risk
  • Unknown causes – Many cases have no clear reason

Who Is at Risk?

You may have a higher chance of spine tumors if you:
  • Have a history of cancer in another part of the body
  • Have family history of brain or spinal tumors
  • Have genetic conditions linked to tumor growth
  • Have weak immunity or chronic illnesses

Diagnosis

Doctors may recommend:
  • MRI or CT scans – To see the tumor and its effect on spine and nerves
  • X-rays – To check bone changes
  • Biopsy – To confirm if the tumor is benign or malignant

Treatment for Spine Tumors

  • Medicines & radiotherapy – To shrink or control tumor growth
  • Surgery – To remove the tumor, relieve pressure on spinal cord/nerves, and stabilize the spine
  • Rehabilitation – Physiotherapy to restore movement, posture, and strength after treatment

Advanced Treatment With O-arm® O2® Imaging

At Indospine Hospital, we use the O-arm® O2® Surgical Imaging System for precise and safe spine tumor surgeries:
  • Provides clear 2D & 3D images of the spine
  • Helps doctors locate tumors accurately
  • Guides safe removal without damaging healthy tissues
  • Ensures proper screw/implant placement when stabilization is needed
  • Confirms successful surgery during the operation
  • Improves recovery and reduces repeat surgery risks

FAQs on Spine Tumors

1. Are all spine tumors cancerous?
No. Some are benign (non-cancerous), while others are malignant (cancerous). Both can cause serious problems if untreated.
They may start in the spine (primary) or spread from other cancers (secondary). Some causes remain unknown.
Treatment may include medicines, radiotherapy, or surgery depending on tumor type and location.
If the tumor presses on the spinal cord/nerves, causes pain, weakness, or spinal instability, surgery is often needed.
Yes. If not treated, they can cause paralysis, nerve damage, or cancer spread. Early treatment gives better results.
