A spinal cord tumor located at T10 often requires surgery to remove it. Radiation and chemotherapy may also be used, but surgery is typically the primary treatment option. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be used for tumors that cannot be completely removed with surgery, but it is less commonly used for spinal cord tumors.
