A spinal cord tumor is an abnormal growth that can develop on the spinal cord. These tumors can cause problems when they press on the spinal cord, leading to symptoms such as back pain, numbness or tingling, weakness in the legs or arms, and bladder and bowel problems. Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the tumor, along with other options like radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
