Spinal Cancer

Spinal cancer is a rare type of cancer that affects the spinal cord or the vertebrae (bones of the spine). The exact cause of spinal cancer is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to genetic mutations, exposure to radiation, and certain viral infections. Symptoms of spinal cancer may include back pain, numbness or tingling in the extremities, weakness, and difficulty walking or standing. Treatment options for spinal cancer may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these therapies, depending on the stage and characteristics of the cancer.
