Spinal Tumours Expert Witnesses

Spinal tumours are abnormal growths affecting the spine, spinal cord or surrounding tissues. They may originate within the spinal structures or develop when cancer spreads from another part of the body. Depending on their location, they can cause pain, spinal instability, nerve compression or neurological symptoms. Cases involving spinal masses can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to recognition, diagnosis, imaging, referral, neurological deterioration, treatment planning, surgery, radiotherapy and subsequent outcomes. Our spinal, neurosurgical and orthopaedic expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, spinal imaging, pathology, operative documentation and other relevant evidence. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
