Treatment and diagnostics spinal cord tumor in Thessaloniki, Greece

Treatment of spinal cord tumors in Thessaloniki means the help of outstanding oncologists, neurosurgeons, and neurologists who closely monitor dynamics, adjust therapy, and bring patients into stable remission. Treatment tactics are chosen depending on the type, nature, and spread of the pathological process, which are determined through diagnostics performed on the most advanced equipment.

Before treatment begins, tumor-profile check-up programs are prescribed, allowing doctors to quickly determine the specifics of the disease. During diagnostics, such procedures as MSCT, CT, MRI, PET, biopsy, Force CT, EOS, digital angiography, and others are used.

Treatment of spinal cord tumors in Thessaloniki may include the following measures:

• stereotactic radiosurgery (gamma knife and cyber knife treatment),
• microsurgery through a miniature puncture using the O-Arm neuronavigation system,
• radiotherapy for large neoplasms,
• classical radiation therapy,
• chemotherapy,
• immunotherapy,
• hormone therapy.

Surgery helps eliminate the tumor in 98.7% of cases, while supportive drug treatment protects against dissemination of the neoplasm and recurrence of the pathological process.

During therapy, doctors in local clinics work as a single team, which helps them achieve stable remissions even in severe cases. After treatment, patients undergo rehabilitation measures that consolidate the effect and restore a decent quality of life.
