Spinal Cord Lesion

Good afternoon.  My brother had a Medulloblastoma removed in Feb 07.  A spinal cord lesion form after that, which I believed was caused from the radiation.  My question is this.  Is this lesion a tumor?  Thank you for your help.,

Hi,

It is difficult to tell without looking at the report if the lesion formed is a tumor or not. Radiation injury can result in tumors or damage the spinal cord tissue so this requires further evaluation by your brother’s doctor.

Thanks
