About Brain Tumor

• A tumor is a group of tissues that gets formed by
  the growth of abnormal cells. Generally, the
  cells in your body grow with time, die, and then
  are recovered by new cells. With cancer and other
  tumors, something disturbs this whole process.
• Primary brain tumor is not cancerous at all and
  it is the one that initiates in the brain, benign
  brain tumors are not aggressive and normally do
  not spread around surrounding tissues, but
  sometimes they can be serious and even life
  threatening as well.
• The second most common type of adult brain tumors
  are meningeal tumors. These develop in the
  meninges i.e. the thin layer of tissue that
  covers the brain and spinal cord.

What are the symptoms of a Brain Tumor?

• Some tumors show none of the symptoms until they
  become quite large and then cause a serious and
  rapid decline in health. Other tumors may have
  symptoms that develop slowly.
• Headache is one of the most common initial
  symptom of a brain tumor. Mentioned below are
  some symptoms of brain tumor
• Seizures
• Changes in speech or hearing
• Changes in vision
• Balance problems
• Problems while walking
• Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
• Problems with memory
• Personality changes
• Unable to concentrate

What causes brain tumor?

• Brain tumor occurs in people more likely because
  of genetic or inherited conditions rather than
  the environmental ones. Exposure to vinyl
  chloride or ionizing radiation can be one
  environmental cause of brain tumor.
• Predominantly, a brain tumor is caused by
  mutations of tumor suppressor genes. The
  inherited conditions that bring about brain tumor
  are Von Hippel-Lindau Disease, multiple endocrine
  neoplasia and neurofibromatosis type 2. Mobile
  phone radiations are also considered to be
  carcinogenic that may cause malignant brain
  tumor.

How are Brain Tumors diagnosed?

• The doctor simply starts by asking questions
  about your symptoms and will take some personal
  and family health history to diagnose a brain
  tumor. Then the doctor will perform a physical
  exam, consisting of a neurological test. The
  doctor may request one or more of the following
  tests if there is a reason to suspect brain
  tumor
• Imaging studies such as a CT(CAT) scan or MRI to
  see detailed images of the brain
• MRA or Angiogram, which involve the use of dye
  and X-rays of blood vessels in the brain

Treatment of Brain Tumor

• A craniotomy is one of the surgical techniques
  which is primarily used to extract a brain tumor.
  The surgery involves making an incision in the
  scalp and removing part of the skull bone around
  the problem area with specialized equipment,
  creating what is known as a bone flap. The bone
  flap is then temporarily removed, separating the
  dura matter from the bone to expose the brain.
• Another type of brain tumor surgery is a
  neuroendoscopy which is a minimally invasive
  surgery. The surgery involves removing the brain
  tumor through small incisions, rather than
  through one large incision. This kind of surgery
  creates access to the tumor that cannot be
  possible to reach via traditional surgery.

Risk factors related to brain tumor

• Exposure to radiation - People who have been
  exposed to a type of radiation called ionizing
  radiation have an increased risk of brain tumor.
  Examples of ionizing radiation involve radiation
  therapy which is used to treat cancer and
  radiation exposure caused by atomic bombs.
• Family history of brain tumors - A small portion
  of brain tumors occurs in people with a family
  history of brain tumors or a family history of
  genetic syndromes that increase the risk of brain
  tumors.
