Tumors of the Spine
Tumors of the spine range from benign, non-aggressive tumors to highly aggressive, destructive lesions. Frequently surgery is required and can range from biopsies, with subsequent radiation and/or chemotherapy, to en-block resections for removal of the entire tumor and instrumentation with hardware and bone.
Concerns for individuals with spinal tumors are removal of the tumor while maintaining the structural integrity of the axial spine to permit standing and walking.
Accurate diagnosis with imaging technologies is necessary for proper evaluation and the decision-making process regarding these complex problems.
