Spinal Tumor Treatment in Durgapur, West Bengal

Spinal tumors are abnormal growths that develop within or around the spinal cord, spinal canal, or vertebrae. These can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may originate in the spine (primary) or spread from other parts of the body (secondary/metastatic).

Regardless of their nature, early diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent nerve damage, paralysis, or permanent disability. If you're in Durgapur, Asansol, Raniganj, Bankura, or Bardhaman, you can now access advanced spinal tumor care locally from Dr. Hardik Rajyaguru.

What Are Spinal Tumors?

Spinal tumors can be classified into:

  • Intramedullary tumors: Inside the spinal cord (e.g. astrocytoma, ependymoma)

  • Intradural-extramedullary tumors: In the spinal canal but outside the cord (e.g. meningioma, schwannoma)

  • Extradural tumors: Outside the dura, often metastatic and involving vertebrae or discs

These tumors can compress the spinal cord or nerves, leading to pain, weakness, or even bladder and bowel dysfunction.

Warning Signs You Should Not Ignore

  • Spinal tumors often mimic other spine issues but can be identified through:

  • Persistent back or neck pain not relieved by rest or medication

  • Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in limbs

  • Muscle weakness, clumsiness, or difficulty walking

  • Unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or loss of appetite

  • Incontinence or bladder/bowel dysfunction

  • Progressive spinal deformity or instability

Diagnosis & Imaging for Spinal Tumors

Early detection is essential. Dr. Hardik Rajyaguru uses high-precision imaging and tests to confirm diagnosis:

  • MRI spine with contrast – most accurate for detecting tumor location and type

  • CT scan or PET scan – for staging and bone involvement

  • Whole-body scan – to check for metastasis

  • Biopsy (needle or surgical) – confirms tumor type and guides treatment

  • Neurological evaluation – to assess spinal cord function and reflexes

Treatment Options for Spinal Tumors in Durgapur

Treatment depends on the tumor’s size, location, type (benign/malignant), and symptoms. Dr. Rajyaguru follows a multidisciplinary approach, working with oncologists and radiologists as needed.
 

✅ Non-Surgical Monitoring (Watchful Waiting)
 

  • For small, slow-growing, and asymptomatic tumors

  • Regular MRI follow-up and symptom check
     

✅ Surgical Treatment
 

  • Microsurgical Tumor Removal: Minimally invasive surgery with high precision

  • Spinal Decompression: Relieves pressure on the spinal cord or nerves

  • Stabilization/Instrumentation: Implants to restore spine strength and prevent deformity

  • Navigation-Guided Surgery: Ensures accuracy and preserves healthy tissue
     

✅ Adjunct Therapies
 

  • Radiotherapy: To shrink residual tumor or prevent recurrence

  • Chemotherapy: For malignant or metastatic tumors

  • Steroid injections: For inflammation and swelling control

  • Rehabilitation therapy: To restore movement and function post-surgery

FAQs – Spinal Tumors

  • No. Many are benign but still dangerous due to spinal cord compression.

  • Yes, especially if benign and accessible. Some malignant tumors may need partial removal with radiation or chemo afterward.

  • Most patients begin rehabilitation within a few days and gradually regain strength over a few weeks to months.

  • Benign tumors rarely recur if fully removed. Malignant tumors require monitoring and adjunct therapy.

  • Progressive weakness, paralysis, severe pain, and loss of bladder/bowel control. Early treatment prevents complications.
