Cervical spondylosis patients do not develop cancer. After the onset of this condition, patients mainly experience neck pain, numbness and weakness in the fingers, and dizziness. This disease does not typically lead to cancer; in other words, there is no direct relationship between cervical spondylosis and cancer. Patients with cervical spondylosis who experience pain or numbness in their limbs should consider cervical spine issues rather than worry about cancer.
