[6] Pain occasionally can be absent in adults and more often is absent in childhood. If other neurologic symptoms suggestive of myelopathy are present, without pain, the clinician should evaluate for spinal cord tumor. [6]

Because the central nervous system is affected, the condition is classified under the neurological field of study. [citation needed] The spine shown here with spinal cord.

Pediatric brain cancer is the second-leading cause of childhood cancer death, just after leukemia. Recent trends suggest that the rate of overall CNS tumor diagnosis is increasing by about 2.7% per year. As diagnostic techniques using genetic markers improve and are used more often, the proportion of AT/RT diagnoses is expected to increase.
The disease changes white blood cells into cancer cells and builds up in the bone marrow, the spongy material inside the bones where blood cells are made, according to the Mayo Clinic.
