    What are the causes of a brain tumor in children?

    Although the exact reason is not known for the brain tumor in children. Mostly,
    these are the primary brain tumors that begin from the brain and tissues near it. Due to the error or
    mutation in DNA, the cell begins to grow & divide at an increased rate.

    What are the possible risk factors?

    As we have mentioned, the cause behind the brain tumor in children is not clear.
    However, some of them are common which include:

    diagnosed with it.

    How is it diagnosed?

    The neurologist in Ludhiana will recommend different tests and procedures to
    diagnose your child’s health and determine the best possible solution. Some of the tests are:

    • Neurological Exam : Check the strength, reflex, balance, hearing & coordination.
    • Imaging Tests : Determine the size and location of the tumor. MRI is done along with CT
      and PET can be done.
    • Biopsy : The biopsy is the test where sample tissue is removed. Through biopsy the cell
      type is known and how much aggressive it is.

    Apart from that, the doctor will perform precision medicine diagnosis and test to see how far cancer has spread.

    What are the treatment options?

    Surgery

    • If the tumor is accessible through surgery, then the pediatric neurosurgeon will remove the tumor as
      effectively and safely as he can.
    • Sometimes the tumors are small and they can be separated from the brain tissue which allows the surgery
      to be done with ease.

    It is important to understand that removing certain parts of the brain will
    reduce the signs & symptoms.

    Traditional Radiation Therapy

    During radiation therapy, the high-energy beams are delivered by a machine that
    is either outside the body or placed inside of the body.

    • Outside the body (external beam radiation)
    • Inside the body (Brachytherapy)

    Mostly the whole brain radiation is used to treat cancer which has spread from
    one part of the brain to another.

    Proton Beam Therapy

    With the proton beam therapy, the targeted doses of radiation to the brain tumor
    are delivered. Through this option, the chances of developing new cancer are reduced.
    Apart from these treatment chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and rehabilitation following treatment is
    important.
