Brain Tumor Health Feed

Brain cancer is a disease of the brain in which cancer cells (malignant cells) arise in the brain tissue. Cancer cells grow to form a mass of cancer tissue (tumor) that interferes with brain functions such as muscle control, sensation, memory, and other normal body functions. Tumors composed of cancer cells are called malignant tumors, and those composed of mainly non-cancerous cells are called benign tumors. Cancer cells that develop from brain tissue are called primary brain tumors while tumor...more

More than 500 people are diagnosed with brain tumour every day worldwide. The number of patients with secondary tumours is even higher than 500. It is common across all ages. A primary brain tumour is a tumour that begins in the brain. It can be either malignant, i.e., contains cancer cells or benign, i.e., does not contain cancer cells.

A secondary brain tumour is usually cancerous. It starts anywhere in the body and sends cancerous cells which grow in the brain.

A tumor may be defined as an abnormal unwanted growth of tissue in any part of the body. This word need not immediately cause panic because the tumor may or may not cause a health threat. There are three types of tumors:

Benign tumor: This is a noncancerous type of tumor. In our body, new cells are formed while the old ones called dead ones are disposed by our immune system. When this disposal of cells does not occur, the remaining dead cells form a lump, which is called a benign tu...more

ब्रेन ट्यूमर आपके मस्तिष्क में असामान्य कोशिकाओं का एक संग्रह या द्रव्यमान है. आपके मस्तिष्क को आवरण में रखने वाली खोपड़ी बेहद ही कठोर होती है. इस तरह के सीमित स्थान के भीतर कोई भी असामान्य कोशकीय विकास समस्याएं पैदा कर सकता है. ब्रेन ट्यूमर कैंसरयुक्त (गंभीर) या गैर-कैंसरयुक्त(सौम्य) हो सकता है. जब बिनाइन या घातक ट्यूमर बढ़ने लगते हैं, तो इससे मस्तिष्क के अंदर प्रेशर बढ़ सकता है. यह स्थिति मस्तिष्क को नुकसान पहुंचाता है. ब्रेन ट्यूमर को प्राथमिक या माध्यमिक श्रेणी के रूप में वर्गीकृत किया जाता ह...more

ब्रेन ट्यूमर दिमाग में असामान्य कोशिकाओं का कैंसर के रूप में या बिना कैंसर के जमा हो जाना या विकसित होने को कहा जाता है. इसका विकास मानव मस्तिष्क में हो सकता है. ये भी हो सकता है कि ये मस्तिष्क में फैलकर शरीर के किसी अन्य हिस् से में दिमाग के कैंसर केरूप में फ़ैल जाए. इंटराक्रेनियनल प्रेशर (आईआईसीपी) के लगातार बढ़ने से मस्तिष्क पर दबाव की मात्रा काफी बढ़ जाती है और इससे अत्यधिक तरल पैदा होता है, मस्तिष्क में सूजन आती है या एक गांठ बन जाती है, जो ब्रेन ट्यूमर का कारण हो सकता है. इसके लक्षणों में न...more

Although surgery is considered to be the first step of treatment in any form of tumor, but its feasibility depends upon the type, size and location of the tumor. It is not necessary that every kind of brain tumor might require surgery.

Indications of Brain Tumor Surgery

Diagnosis of the type of tumor by taking a sample of the tumor for laboratory examination
Complete resection of tumor
Removal of the tumor as much as possible to slow down its growth and improve the symp...more
