WHAT IS A Spine Tumor?

A spine tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue within or surrounding the spinal cord and vertebrae. These tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and can originate in the spine (primary tumors) or spread from other parts of the body (metastatic tumors). Regardless of their type, spine tumors can place pressure on nerves and the spinal cord, causing pain, weakness, and loss of function. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent permanent damage.

Signs of a Spine Tumor

Spine tumors often develop gradually and may be mistaken for other spine conditions at first. It's important to be aware of the warning signs, especially if symptoms persist or worsen:

  • Persistent or worsening back pain not relieved by rest
  • Pain that radiates to the arms or legs
  • Numbness or tingling in the extremities
  • Muscle weakness or difficulty walking
  • Loss of coordination or balance
  • Bowel or bladder dysfunction
  • Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Spine Tumors

When can I drive and return to work after spine tumor surgery?

You can drive once you’re off prescription pain medicine and can turn your head and brake quickly without pain. Most people with desk jobs return in about two to six weeks, depending on how involved the surgery was. If your job is physically demanding, expect a longer timeline and wait for clearance from your surgeon.

Can spine tumors be treated without surgery?

Some small or slow-growing tumors may be monitored or treated with medications, radiation, or chemotherapy. However, surgical removal is often recommended when the tumor causes neurological symptoms or grows rapidly.

What is recovery like after spine tumor surgery?

Recovery varies depending on the complexity of the surgery and the patient’s overall health. Thanks to Dr. Yashar’s expertise in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques, many patients benefit from shorter hospital stays, less postoperative pain, and a faster return to daily activities.
