Each year, 1.700 people in the US will be diagnosed with spinal tumors.  With surgery, survival rates are greater than 90%

Spinal tumors can go undetected.  Plain X-Rays can miss them. The back pain they cause could be attributed to something else.

At TJU, we have the experience you need.  We treat over 1,500 spinal cases per year, for tumor and trauma.
