Dementia In Parkinson's Disease Tips

Radiation therapy is used for destroying the brain tumor cells, and relieves the symptoms of discomfort and pain caused by the tumor. Radiation is usually used after biopsy or resection of the tumor. This is done to destroy the microscopic cells of the tumor which have been left behind. Sometimes this is also an option for unresectable brain tumors or the metastatic tumors which spread to the brain from other parts of the body.

The radiation therapy is planned on several factors like th...more

Grading of brain cancer is entirely different as compared to the staging of other cancers in the body. Cancer in the breast, lung, colon etc. are staged depending on the possible spread, location of a tumor and lymph node involvement etc. However, brain tumors are graded based on the aggressiveness of the tumor cells under a microscope. The resect ability and the grade of the tumor cells guide a doctor on the treatment decisions. The decision of a brain surgery depends on factors such as the loc...more

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.

Here are a fe...more

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
