Tumors & Metastatic Disease

Cancerous tumors of the spine and spinal cord are relatively rare. The most common symptom patients with a spinal tumor experience is pain, typically at night. Fortunately, most back pain is not due to a tumor.

 

Since back pain is common, it is a challenge for a physician to diagnose these types of problems.

 

The best prognosis is early diagnosis. The experienced doctors at NJSC and our diagnostic regimen can make all the difference in the early diagnosis of this rare but dangerous condition.
