Description:

Dushyant Verma Maharani Bagh - A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain. Brain tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Most brain tumors are benign, meaning they are not cancerous and do not grow or spread to other parts of the brain or body. However, some brain tumors can be malignant, meaning they are cancerous and can grow and spread to other parts of the brain or body. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Dushyant Verma Southern Avenue What Is Brain
Tumor Symptoms And Causes
Dushyant Verma Maharani Bagh - Brain tumor is a
mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain.
Brain tumors can be benign (noncancerous) or
malignant (cancerous). Most brain tumors are
benign, meaning they are not cancerous and do not
grow or spread to other parts of the brain or
body. However, some brain tumors can be
malignant, meaning they are cancer and can grow
and spread to the brain or other parts of the
body. There are many different types of brain
tumors, and they can vary in symptoms, size, and
location.

  • symptoms of brain tumor
  • Dushyant Verma Shillong, brain tumor is a tumor
    that develops in the brain. Brain tumors are very
    rare, but they can be fatal. They are more
    common in older people, and they can be
    hereditary.
  • Symptoms include
  • Headache
  • dizziness and balance problems 3.nausea and
    vomiting
  • confusion or difficulty speaking or slurring
  • gradual loss of sensation or movement in an arm
    or leg 6.feeling very tired
  • 7.confusion in everyday affairs 8.difficulty
    making decisions 9.inability to follow simple
    commands 10.due to brain tumor
  • According to Dushyant Verma Southern Avenue,
    brain tumors can be benign or malignant depending
    on the type of tumor. Benign tumors are usually
    not life-threatening, but malignant tumors can be
    fatal.
  • Most brain tumors occur in children under the age
    of 15 and adults over the age of 50. However, in
    the last few decades there has been an increase
    in cases in young people because their brain
    development is not yet complete So if a tumor
    develops during this time period it may take
    longer for symptoms to develop, rather than if
    it develops later in life (when you are older).
  • There are many different causes of brain tumors.
    The most common cause is exposure to radiation or
    toxic chemicals. Other causes include genetic
    mutations and birth defects.
  • If you have a family history of brain tumours,
    there is a higher chance that you will develop
    one yourself. This is because the genes
    responsible for causing brain tumors are passed
    down through generations.

Types of brain tumors Benign Tumors These tumors
are not cancerous and can be removed without
causing any harm to your body or health. They
can cause headache, nausea and vomiting, or other
symptoms that can be treated with
medication. Malignant Tumors These tumors have
already spread beyond their normal limits to the
surrounding tissues and organs. They can cause
pain in other parts of your body as well as
seizures or breathing problems. Treatment for
malignant brain tumors is usually surgery that
removes all visible signs of cancer cells from
your brain (or part of it). This type of surgery
is called a craniotomy. Glioblastoma multiforme
This type of brain tumor occurs when cells begin
to divide uncontrollably and form clusters
instead of separate strands like normal cells.
These clusters form into tumors within the brain
tissue itself, causing problems with thinking
abilities (such as memory loss), vision loss,
hearing loss, etc. Astrocytoma Astrocytoma is
the most common type of tumor found in adults and
children. They arise from immature or damaged
cells called astrocytes. Astrocytomas can occur
anywhere in the brain and spinal cord, but most
commonly grow on the surface of the brain or on
nearby structures such as the eye sockets or
nostrils. Ependymoma This is a type of glioma
most often found in children under the age of 10
who have had central nervous system surgery
(including craniotomy) of the brain or spine at
some point in their lives. Ependymomas sometimes
occur in adults as well, but it is rare for them
to strike adults unless they have had a previous
stroke or head injury related to that process.
Brain tumor treatment The treatment of a brain
tumor depends on a few factors, such as the type
and location of the tumor, the age and overall
health of the patient, and the response of the
tumor to treatment, says Dushyant Verma,
Southern Avenue. Treatment options include
surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or
chemotherapy. prevent brain tumor Dushyant Verma
Maharani Bagh says, brain is a complex organ
which has many parts. The brain also has a lot
of blood vessels, which means it's not too hard
to get an infection in your head. If you are not
careful, this can lead to a tumor in the
brain. Some of the ways to prevent brain tumor
are as follows 1) Don't smoke! Smoking
increases your risk of developing a tumor in your
head by up to 70.

  1. Get enough rest and exercise! Studies show that
    people who get enough sleep and exercise have
    lower cancer rates than those who don't.
  2. Eat Right! Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and
    other things that can cause cancer (such as
    obesity). Eat lots of fruits and vegetables
    every day - especially high fiber ones like
    broccoli or spinach!
