Hello Mr. Baburao.You would need evaluation for the jerks that u get in your legs. It could be a spine-related problem. You would probably need a spine MRI.

Generally there are 4 types of Resection to remove a tumor:

Gross total: The entire tumor is removed. However, sometimes microscopic cells may remain.
Subtotal: A large portion of the tumor is removed.
Partial: Only part of the tumor is removed.
Biopsy only: Only a small portion is removed, which is used for a biopsy.
