Radiation Therapy to the Spine. Tumors of the vertebrae (bones that surround the spinal cord) can be a serious problem for some cancer patients. These tumors can cause the bone to collapse and can put pressure on the spinal cord. This pressure may cause pain and/or weakness in your legs and arms and change how your bowel and bladder work. You are scheduled to receive radiation treatments designed specifically for you.
