A spine tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in or around the spine, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Spine tumors may be caused by genetic mutations, inherited genetic conditions, environmental exposure, or cancer metastasis from other parts of the body.
Spine tumors are diagnosed through physical exams, MRI/CT scans, neurological tests, and biopsies to determine if the tumor is benign or malignant.
Symptoms include back pain, numbness, limb weakness, balance issues, and loss of bladder/bowel control.
At Dr. Sridhar Jakkepally's clinic, we prioritize your spine health with personalized care and advanced treatment methods.
