Spine tumours may come quietly or cause pain and weakness in limbs, and they’re serious. At Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, multidisciplinary teams unite to diagnose, plan, and treat. Testing combines MRI, CT, and sometimes biopsies or nerve studies. Benign (non-cancerous) tumours are managed with monitoring or minimally invasive surgery, while malignant (cancerous) ones may require complex operations with follow-up chemotherapy or radiation.
Every case is discussed at length. Decisions about surgery are made carefully, weighing risks and benefits. Surgical removal of spine tumours involves precision. We use tools like intraoperative navigation, high-magnification microscopes, and sometimes robotic assistance to maximise accuracy and safety. Protective measures are taken to preserve nerve function, with intraoperative neuromonitoring ensuring no nerve gets harmed. Post-surgical care doesn’t stop there. Patients undergo further therapies, radiation, or chemotherapy, depending on the tumour type. Our goal is to eliminate the tumour, restore spine stability, and preserve as much function as possible.
Removing or reducing the tumour mass
Protecting the spinal cord and nerves
Stabilising the spine to restore mobility
Managing pain and improving quality of life
Whenever possible, minimally invasive or image-guided approaches are used to reduce recovery time and postoperative complications. Post-surgery, patients undergo targeted rehabilitation and follow-up care to monitor spinal integrity and tumour control. This coordinated, patient-centred model ensures that even complex spine tumours are treated with precision and compassion, improving both survival and life quality.
