    Causes of Spine Tumours

    • Genetic Factors: Inherited conditions and genetic mutations can increase the risk.
    • Radiation Exposure: Previous radiation treatment for other cancers can lead to spinal tumours.
    • Weakened Immune System: Conditions that compromise the immune system may raise the risk of developing tumours.
    • Other Cancer Types: Tumours from other parts of the body can metastasize to the spine.

    Types of Spine Tumours

    Spine tumours can be classified into several types based on their origin:

    1. Primary Tumours: Originating in the spine, these can be:

      • Osteosarcoma
      • Ewing’s Sarcoma
      • Chordoma
      • Meningioma

    2. Secondary Tumours: These tumours spread from other areas, often from:

      • Breast Cancer
      • Lung Cancer
      • Prostate Cancer

    Symptoms of Spine Tumours

    The symptoms of spine tumours can vary based on the type and location but may include:

    • Pain: Persistent pain in the back or neck that may worsen over time.
    • Numbness or Weakness: Sensation changes in the limbs or weakness in the arms and legs.
    • Difficulty Walking: Impaired mobility and coordination.

    Diagnosis of Spine Tumours

    Diagnosing a spine tumour involves several steps, including:

    1. Medical History Review: Discussing symptoms and family medical history.
    2. Physical Examination: Assessing neurological functions and physical health.
    3. Imaging Tests:
      • MRI Scans: Detailed images of the spine and surrounding tissues.
      • CT Scans: Cross-sectional images to identify tumours.
    4. Biopsy: Obtaining tissue samples for laboratory analysis to determine the nature of the tumour.

    Treatment Options for Spine Tumours

    Treatment for spine tumours depends on the type, location, and overall health of the patient. Common options include:

    • Surgery: The primary treatment for accessible tumours to remove them and relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
    • Radiation Therapy: Used to target and kill cancer cells, especially if surgery is not feasible.
    • Chemotherapy: Systemic treatment for malignant tumours, usually combined with other therapies.
    • Targeted Therapy: Focuses on specific characteristics of cancer cells to inhibit growth.

    Cost of Treatment and Stay in India

    The cost of spine tumour surgery in India can vary widely based on factors such as hospital choice, complexity of the surgery, and duration of stay. On average, patients can expect the following:

    • Surgery Costs: Ranging from INR 2,00,000 to INR 7,00,000 (approximately $2,500 to $9,000).
