Spinal tumors are abnormal tumors of tissue located in the spine and spinal cord. 90-95% of them occur in the spine and only 5% invade the spinal cord. Spinal tumors that have spread to other parts of the body are called secondary or metastatic tumors. Tumors that form in the spine are called primary tumors and are very rare. These tumors can be benign or malignant. While benign tumors can be very painful and damage bone tissue, malignant tumors are much more dangerous. The cause of most primary tumors is unknown. Sometimes it can occur due to genetic factors and sometimes due to exposure to carcinogens. Symptoms Spinal tumors can cause pain, changes in sensation, problems with mobility, and even complete paralysis. Many symptoms can be mistaken for degenerative disc disease. The basic symptom that forces patients to see a doctor is back pain, which is not related to any physical activity or injury. Rest provides little or no pain relief. Other symptoms are: sciatica, numbness, paralysis of certain parts of the body, spinal deformity, difficulty controlling bowel and bladder (urinary and anal ring muscle dysfunction).
Diagnosis Diagnostic tools that help detect tumors Hong Kong Telegram Number Data include X-rays (radiography), magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, Hong Kong Telegram Number Data and sometimes biopsy. Treatment options for spinal tumors include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Treatment Tumors are usually treated surgically because they destroy the vertebrae, are associated with pain, and can lead to pathological fractures, leading to spinal instability or spinal cord compression, which can lead to nerve damage. Radical surgical treatment includes removal of the tumor, decompression of the spinal cord, application of implants (replacement of the vertebral bodies) and stabilization of the spine using a special titanium internal fixation system. With this, the tumor was removed and the spine was reconstructed and is now stable. After surgical resection, additional treatments (radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy) are performed. Physical therapy is also necessary to achieve a complete recovery for the patient. Radiation Therapy for Spine Tumors Radiation therapy is administered to patients with primary and secondary tumors of the spine and spinal cord. It is usually done after surgery but sometimes before surgery. At the Acibadem Sistina Clinical Hospital, radiotherapy is performed using the most modern TRILOGY equipment, allowing for fast and effective tumor treatment. The TRILOGY device enables high-dose radiation to be fully focused on the target tumor, thereby protecting surrounding healthy tissues and organs.
Reducing the dose to healthy organs and tissues is important to protect their function and maintain quality of life after radiation therapy has ended.
