Fighting Against Brain Tumours: Key Insights And Treatment Solutions.

A brain tumour is a deadly disease that can affect the growth of cells in the brain, interrupting its usual function and impacting a person’s overall well-being. They can vary from cancerous to non-cancerous brain tumours, each necessitating tailored medical care and treatment. 

 

Acknowledging the numerous types of brain tumours, risk factors and associated treatment solutions, such as brain tumour surgery, can help the patients and their loved ones guide this intricate medical situation. 

 

This blog will walk you through the several types of brain tumours, their associated dangers, and the advanced treatment solutions prevailing. It will also mention the need to consult the best neurologist to ensure an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategy. 

Categories of brain tumours

 

The brain tumours are further divided into two crucial parts: primary and secondary tumours. Better knowledge of these varieties is paramount for appropriate diagnosis and suitable surgeries. 

  • Primary brain tumours:

 

  • Non-cancerous brain tumours: These tumours are also known as benign brain tumours and usually stay in one place and don’t move to other areas of your body. But they can still create severe issues by pushing against your surrounding brain tissue.

 

  • Cancerous brain tumours: These tumours are also recognized as malignant brain tumours, spread quickly into other parts of the body, and are pretty dangerous. Also, glioblastoma is considered one of the most aggressive types of malignant brain tumours. Therefore, it is necessary to rapidly cure these tumours, including surgery and other beneficial therapies. 

 

  1. Secondary brain tumours: Secondary brain tumours emerge when cancer from a different part of your body, like breast, lungs or kidneys, is transmitted to the brain. These tumours typically necessitate a multifaceted treatment approach, which may involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. It is important to note that secondary brain tumours occur more frequently than primary brain tumours.

 

Associated risk factors for brain tumours

 

Though the exact reason for the brain tumour is still unknown, several risk factors can increase the chances of developing one. Recognizing these factors is crucial for gradually minimising your likelihood of pursuing early treatments. 

 

  • Age: Brain tumours do not target a particular age. It can happen at any phase of life. However, some types are evident in specific age groups. For instance, medulloblastomas are generally found in children, whereas gliomas and meningiomas generally affect older and younger people, respectively. 

 

  • Inherited through family: Even a minor percentage of brain tumours are associated with genetic factors or your family’s medical background. Additionally, specific inherited disorders, including neurofibromatosis and Li-Fraumeni syndrome, are linked to an increased likelihood of developing brain tumours. 

 

  • Occupational and environmental exposures: If you are working in industries where you are exposed to dangerous chemicals, then you have a slightly elevated risk of becoming a victim of brain tumours; however, further research is essential to reach conclusive findings.

 

  • Weak immune system: If you have a poor immune system as a result of suffering from HIV/AIDS or you have gone through any organ transplant surgery, then there are significant chances of developing specific types of brain tumours. 

Treatments and therapies for brain tumours

 

  • Brain tumour surgery

 

Surgery is generally the first suggested option for the treatment of both benign and malignant brain tumours. At Jhawar Hospital, our effective brain tumour surgery focuses on excising the tumour extensively while reducing the harm to adjacent brain tissues. However, in some instances, entirely eliminating the tumour may not be feasible. Instead, the objective is to decrease the tumour’s size to alleviate symptoms and facilitate other treatment options like radiation and chemotherapy. 

 

  • Chemotherapy: In this procedure, specialists use drugs to demolish the cancer cells and are specifically used to cure malignant brain tumours. You are required to take these medicines either in a traditional way or given intravenously. In certain situations, chemotherapy is applied straight to your brain via implants that are inserted during surgical procedures.

 

  • Targeted therapy includes drugs targeting the cancer cells while preserving the normal cells. These treatments generally focus on genetic variations or proteins promoting cancer growth. 

 

  • Immunotherapy: In this therapy, doctors use your immune system to fight against cancer. However, it is not as commonly used for brain tumours as other cancers. However, research continues to examine the possibilities of using immunotherapy to treat brain tumours.
