Spine Tumor
A spine tumor is an unusual growth of cells in or around the spinal cord and vertebrae. These tumors may be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign), but both can cause serious problems by pressing on nerves, leading to pain, weakness, or difficulty in movement.
Dr. Akash Singh offers expert care for spine tumors using the latest surgical techniques. He understands how important the spine is for everyday movement and body support. That’s why his treatment focuses on removing the tumor safely while protecting nerve function and spinal stability.
Spine tumors can occur inside the spinal cord (intramedullary), around the spinal cord (intradural-extramedullary), or outside the spinal cord (extradural). Each type needs a different approach, and Dr. Singh plans the surgery based on detailed scans like MRI and CT. He may recommend a biopsy to know the exact type of tumor before planning surgery.
Surgical treatment aims to remove as much of the tumor as possible without harming the nerves. If the tumor cannot be fully removed, partial removal followed by other treatments like radiation or chemotherapy may be advised. Dr. Singh may also use minimally invasive spine surgery when suitable, helping patients recover faster with less pain.
Treatment Options for Spine Tumor:
- Accurate diagnosis using advanced imaging
- Personalized treatment plan for each type of tumor
- Expert surgical care to remove tumor while protecting nerves
- Use of minimally invasive techniques where possible
- Full recovery support including physical therapy
Spine tumors can be life-altering, but with timely surgery and expert care, patients can regain strength and comfort. Dr. Akash Singh ensures every patient receives safe, effective, and compassionate care throughout their treatment journey.
