Spinal tumors can form anywhere in and along your spinal column, which includes your vertebrae, spinal cord, and the tissues surrounding your spinal cord. Most spinal tumors result from cancer metastasis, cancer that has spread from another area of your body to your spine A spinal tumor is an abnormal growth (mass) of cells within or surrounding your spinal cord and/or spinal column. Your spine is the long, flexible column of bones that protects your spinal cord . It begins at the base of your skull and ends in your tailbone, which is part of your pelvis. Your spinal cord is a cylindrical structure that runs through the center of your spine, from your brainstem to your low back. It contains nerve bundles and cells that carry messages from your brain to the rest of your body, and from your body to your brain.
