Spine Surgery
Spinal tumors are a diverse group of lesions ranging from benign (non-cancerous) tumors treated with surgical resection, to malignant (cancerous) tumors that require multidisciplinary care involving surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy.
Benign spinal tumors of the spine include meningiomas, neurofibromas and schwannomas. These most often occur inside the spinal canal, but outside the spinal cord itself. These tumors are most often treated with surgical resection alone, although more complex cases may also require additional therapy such as radiation or chemotherapy.
