What is Spinal Cancer?
Spinal cancer can impact the bones or tissues of your spine, leading to noticeable changes in your health. Key symptoms include ongoing back pain, unexplained weakness in your arms or legs, and trouble maintaining balance.
Some individuals might also struggle with bladder or bowel control. Recognizing these symptoms early and consulting a healthcare professional is crucial for maintaining your health.
Common Risk Factors for Spinal Cancer
Understanding the common risk factors for spinal cancer can help in early detection and awareness. Here are some key factors to consider:
- Age: Spinal cancer is more frequently diagnosed in older adults.
- Genetic conditions: Certain inherited genetic conditions can increase the likelihood of developing spinal tumors.
- Previous cancers: Individuals with a history of other types of cancer may have a higher risk of spinal cancer.
- Exposure to radiation: Prior radiation therapy, especially to the spine, can elevate the risk.
- Family history: A family history of spinal cancer or other cancers can be a significant risk factor.
How TrueBeam is Revolutionizing Spinal Cancer Treatment
TrueBeam technology is making a remarkable difference in the lives of those battling spinal cancer by significantly reducing the discomfort associated with traditional treatments. A significant challenge for spinal cancer patients is coping with the side effects and extended recovery period following traditional therapy.
With TrueBeam, the treatment is designed to minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissues, leading to a much more comfortable and quicker recovery experience. This improvement allows patients to return to their daily lives with less disruption and a better overall quality of life.
TrueBeam for Spinal Cancer Therapy
- Less Impact on Spinal Cord Function: Radiation to the spine can sometimes impair spinal cord function, leading to symptoms like numbness or paralysis. TrueBeam’s precision minimizes radiation exposure to the spinal cord, protecting its function and reducing the likelihood of these side effects.
- Fewer Cognitive Side Effects: In cases where traditional treatments affect the brain or nervous system, patients can experience cognitive side effects such as memory loss or confusion. TrueBeam’s accurate targeting reduces the risk of these neurological impacts.
- Enhanced Bone Health: Traditional radiation can weaken bones, increasing the risk of fractures. TrueBeam’s precise application helps maintain bone integrity, reducing the chances of fractures and promoting overall spinal health.
- Quicker Return to Normal Activities: The comprehensive benefits of TrueBeam, such as reduced side effects and quicker recovery times, enable patients to return to their normal activities and routines much faster compared to those undergoing traditional treatments.
