A coordinated multidisciplinary approach is used to treat spinal tumors. The expertise of a neuroradiologist, pathologist, angiographer, oncologist, and spinal surgeon may be combined during the patient's treatment. The type of tumor, neurologic deficit, spinal deformity (e.g. scoliosis), bony involvement, prior treatment, patient's medical status, pain, and life expectancy are considered prior to treatment.
Children may experience several types of pediatric spinal deformity, including scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis. While many pediatric spinal deformities can be treated conservatively, with physical therapy or bracing, some require surgery.
