Treatment

 

It is important to seek treatment as soon as possible if your pain persists and if you have a history of cancer — the spine is a common place for another cancer to spread.


Seek treatment immediately if you have:


  • Impaired bladder or bowel function
  • Paralysis

Investigations

 

Clinical trials


  • Clinical trials are studies of new treatments. These studies can give you a chance to try the latest treatment options, but the risk of side effects may not be known. Depending on the type and aggressiveness of the tumour and the chance of recovery (prognosis) for your child, consider asking the doctor whether your child might be eligible to participate in a clinical trial.
