Tumors growing on the spine may cause local swelling, pain, and impaired mobility. If the tumor is large enough to compress nearby nerves, it may also lead to systemic symptoms such as headache, dizziness, limb numbness, fatigue, and low-grade fever. If a patient has already developed clear clinical symptoms, surgical removal is recommended promptly to prevent worsening of the condition.
