A brain tumor is an irregular cell growth or mass in the brain/spine. There are several different forms of brain/spine tumors. Some tumors are benign (noncancerous), while others are cancerous (malignant). Brain tumors may start in the brain (primary brain tumors) or spread from other parts of the body to the brain (secondary brain tumors). Spinal tumors are intra medullary or extra medullary or spread from distal site.
Astrocytomas, the most common CNS tumor, grow from tiny, star-shaped cells called astrocytes and can occur anywhere in the brain or spinal cord.
Gliomas of the brain stem are a form of astrocytoma that develops in the part of the brain that regulates many vital functions, including body temperature, blood pressure, breathing, appetite, and thirst.
Meningioma is a type of cancer that develops in the cells that line the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
A growing tumor can compress a nerve or a section of the brain, causing clinical signs and symptoms in the patient. It depends on the size, shape, and location of the tumor. The most famous presentation is:
The seriousness of the condition is determined by a clinical evaluation of the patient. Further investigation, such as CT Brain/MRI Brain/ spine, is performed based on clinical results for a final diagnosis.
After analysing the scans, a treatment plan is devised. Further treatment, such as surgery, is arranged depending on the type of tumor, its location, size, and the patient's age/general health.
The extracted tumor is sent for histopathological analysis after surgery to assess the tumour’s grade. Further treatment, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy, is determined by the tumour's final grade.
