Specialists in brain and spinal cord tumors at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota care for adults and children who have spinal cord tumors with the treatment options described in these pages.
Spinal cord tumors are often difficult to diagnose, and surgery to remove them demands great skill. Because spinal cord tumors are relatively rare, many physicians see only a few people with these tumors each year. Treating brain and spinal cord tumors is a specialty of neurosurgeons at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, where over 100 spinal cord tumor surgeries are typically performed each year.
Mayo Clinic uses a multispecialty team approach to the management of spinal cord tumors. Specialists from Neurosurgery, Neurology, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Neuroradiology and Neuropathology see the patient at the same time, enhancing communication and ensuring continuity of care.
