The spinal cord tumors may be benign or malignant. They arise in the spinal cord between the vertebrae or on the brain roots and membranes.

Some factors affect the duration and type of the treatment:

  • presence of a genetic predisposition to tumors incidence;
  • teratogenic factors effects;
  • the negative impact of the injuries;
  • presence of metastases.

These factors are the most common causes of spinal cord tumors. The development of spinal cord tumors depends on individual factors. Among them are the location of the tumor and the severity of the lesion.
