the goal of spinal treatment involves: .. Removing pressure Controls the severe pain that often occurs with these tumour by removing the pressure on the nerve roots. Removing the pressure on the spinal cord This pressure is maintained so as to preserve neurological functioning of the nerves. Fixing the structural instability in the spine It is reconstructing the unstable spine with a spinal fusion. Nonsurgical treatments Nonsurgical treatment options include observation, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Tumours that appear to be changing or progressing may be observed and monitored with regular MRIs. Some tumours responds well to chemotherapy and other radiation therapy. However, there are specific tumours that are radio resistant, and in those cases, surgery may be the only available treatment option. Surgical treatments Surgery varies depending upon the type of tumour. In patients with metastatic tumours such as extradural tumours, treatment is primary with a goal to preserve neurological functions, stabilizing the spinal and alleviating the pain. Surgery is mostly performed on spinal tumours to get tissue for the purpose of diagnosis, to relieve the pressure from the spinal cord or to stabilize the spine. Surgery done to remove the tumour is mostly followed by radiation therapy or chemotherapy, or both.
