Spinal Cord Cancer Treatment
Spinal cord cancer is a relatively rare, but serious form of cancer that can cause debilitating symptoms and even death. Treatment for spinal cord cancer typically involves surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, depending on the tumor's size, location and type. Surgery is used to remove the tumor, while radiation and chemotherapy are given to shrink and/or destroy any remaining cancer cells. Treatments for spinal cord cancer can be very effective, potentially providing complete remission and survival for the patient. In addition, the use of targeted therapies such as immunotherapy helps to increase the efficacy of the treatment regimen. Many new treatments for spinal cord cancer are being developed, providing hope for improved outcomes for those diagnosed with this serious and potentially fatal condition.
