Brain tumor symptoms, causes, and treatment

1
Brain tumor symptoms, causes, and treatment
today, the brain tumor is an increasingly serious
problem, which needs to be identified and treated
timely. People have this misconception in their
mind that the treatment of brain tumor is not
possible. If the brain tumor is detected in its
early stages, then its treatment is possible. In
this article, you will know what is a brain
tumor, what causes it, about the brain tumors
symptoms, types, diagnosis, and treatment. A
brain tumor is a type of cancer
What is Brain Tumor
A brain tumor is a collection or body of abnormal
cells in the brain. The growth of abnormal cells
inside the skull can cause problems. Brain tumors
can be carcinogenic (malignant) or non-cancerous
(benign). When malignant tumors grow, they can
increase the pressure inside your skull, they
can damage the brain and they can be
life-threatening. Brain tumors can occur in both
adults and children.
There are different types of brain tumors. Some
brain tumors are cancer-free (noncancerous)
(benign), and some brain tumors are cancerous
(malignant). When brain tumors start from the
brain, it is called primary brain tumor and if
cancer starts from other parts of the body and
reaches the brain, then the brain tumors caused
by this type of cancer are secondary, or
metastatic brain tumors. It is said.
Brain Tumor The faster the brain tumor grows, the
faster it affects the functions of the
nervous system. Treatment of brain tumors depends
on their size, type, and location.

Brain Tumor Symptoms
Brain tumor signs and symptoms differ
significantly from other disease symptoms.
These symptoms depend on the size, location, and
rate of growth of the brain tumor. Brain tumors
can be detected with the following symptoms
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The headache increases over time dizziness Nausea
or vomiting The sensation is one hand or leg
(tingling) Loss of memory or change in mental
function Trouble speaking or understanding Confus
ion in everyday matters Changes in hearing,
taste, or smell Seizures (especially in adults)
Change in personality or behavior Hearing
problems Difficulty writing or reading Muscle
weakness in the face, arms, or legs

Brain Tumor Causes
Primary brain tumors arise from the brain or
surrounding tissues such as meninges,
cranial nerves, pituitary gland or pineal
gland. There is an action of mutations in the DNA
of normal cells, which helps in the division and
growth of cells, leading to the introduction of
primary brain tumors. Cell division leads to a
rapid increase in the number of abnormal cells,
which leads to the formation of tumors, which is
the major cause of brain tumors.
Secondary brain tumors are very common in adults,
in secondary brain tumors, cancer starts from any
part of the body and then reaches the brain.
Brain Tumor Treatment
Treatment of tumor in the brain depends on the
type, size, and location of the tumor as well as
your health. The following remedies can be
included on this basis. Surgery If the brain
tumor is located in a place where it is easy to
perform the operation, then your brain tumor is
removed by surgery. Depending on the small size
of the tumor and the reduced effect of cancer on
the brain tissue, it is possible to completely
remove the brain tumor. Radiation therapy High
energy radiation, such as X-ray radiation or
protons, is used in radiation therapy to kill
tumor cells. An external beam of radiation is
only put on the tumor affected area of your
brain. Whole-brain radiation is used
simultaneously to treat many tumor cancers, which
spread to the brain from other parts of the body.

Radiosurgery Radiosurgery is not related to
surgery, in this process, high energy radiation
is used to destroy very small area tumor cells.
In brain tumors, radioactive radiation is
injected in a single place to kill tumor
cells. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy involves the
use of drugs to kill tumor cells. The
chemotherapy drug temozolomide (Temodar) is
often used to treat brain tumors. This medicine
is given in tablet form. Chemotherapy drugs can
also have harmful effects on health. Targeted
drug therapy Targeted drug works to destroy
brain tumors by preventing
abnormalities present within cancer cells and
their unnecessary growth.
