What Is a Spinal Tumor?
A spinal tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue cells that grows and multiply uncontrollably within or adjacent to the spinal cord. These cells are often unchecked by the mechanisms that control normal cells and can form anywhere in your spinal column.

Treatments for Spinal Tumor
Surgery
Your neurosurgeon can opt for surgery in case your spinal tumor is resistant to radiation or chemotherapy.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high doses of X-rays to shrink your spinal tumor or destroy these cells.
Chemotherapy
Chemo medication can destroy the tumorous cells in your spine. You may get chemotherapy by taking a pill or through an injection.
