Most spinal tumors have few if any symptoms, and only exhibit symptoms when they begin pressing on nerves or the spinal cord. Cervical tumors may result in the following symptoms: Localized neck pain, Headaches, Weakness in the arms and hands, Motor skill loss both arms, hands, legs and gait, Possible bladder/bowel incontinence. […] The symptoms of thoracic tumors, both benign and malignant, are due to pressure on nerve roots or the spinal cord. These can include localized back pain, radiating pain around the ribcage, gait disruption, lower extremity weakness and bowel/bladder incontinence. […] Spinal tumors in and around the lumbar spine can cause low back pain and may result in radiating pain, weakness and numbness into the buttocks and legs.

  https://ezra.com/blog/symptoms-of-spinal-cancer

  Spinal tumors can cause many different symptoms depending on their location in the spine and whether the spinal cord is involved. For example, a spinal tumor in the neck or cervical region can produce different symptoms than a spinal tumor in the thoracolumbar or mid-back region. […] Tumors in this area can significantly affect neck mobility and function. Symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. Since this section also houses crucial nerves and arteries, tumors here can lead to neurological symptoms like weakness in the arms and hands, tingling, or numbness. In severe cases, it can affect breathing and swallowing. […] Being the attachment site for the rib cage, tumors in the thoracic spine often present with back pain, especially in the mid-back region. If the tumor compresses the spinal cord, it can lead to symptoms like numbness or weakness in the mid-back which can spread to the areas connected to the nerves being compressed, such as the legs.
