Spinal Cord Cancer Symptoms

Spinal Cord Cancer Symptoms - Symptoms of spinal cord cancer depend on the size and location of the tumor, as well as a variety of other factors unique to each patient. Since a spinal tumor can impinge on nerves, back pain is a common spinal cord cancer symptom. Additional symptoms may include, but are not limited to, the following: a general loss of sensation or decreased sensitivity to pain, weakness or numbness in both legs, difficulty walking or maintaining balance, incontinence, paralysis in varying degrees, neurological problems, and scoliosis or other spinal deformities.
