Spine Tumors
Overview
Spine tumors may be primary (begin in the spine) or secondary (metastatic – i.e., tumors that spread to the spine from other locations). The most common cancers that move to the spine are breast, lung, renal and prostate. Most often cancer that moves to the spine is not fatal. However, it can cause pain and compress nerves. Treatment may include surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.
