Brain tumors are an abnormal growth of cells in the brain or brain covering or in the surrounding bone structures. It can be benign or non-cancerous or malignant or cancerous. A major symptom is a headache and the other symptoms are double vision, numbness of the face, weakness in one side of the face, diminished hearing, difficulty in swallowing, balance problems, etc. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and some medications are adjuvant treatments rather than the primary treatment so mainly operative treatments are done for the brain tumor.

Can brain tumours be completely cured? What are the chances of survival? discussed by Dr. Syed Ameer Basha Paspala from CARE Hospitals, Nampally and Banjara Hills.

A brain tumour is an outcome of the uncontrollable growth of the cells resulting into an abnormal mass of tissue. There are no known causes of the brain tumour yet, but medical research has shown that there exist a number of risk factors which lead to it. For instance, children who have been subjected to radiation are more prone to develop brain tumours as an adult. Other risk factors of the brain tumour include rare genetic conditions like Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Apart from this, the age factor also plays a significant role in the development of the brain tumour. However, all primary brain tumours are not cancerous as they don’t spread to the surrounding healthy tissue but they can be equally deadly.

To diagnose a brain tumour, the best neurospecialist will first perform a neurological examination followed by the major imaging tests, namely CT scan and MRI in order to get the complete picture of your brain. If the results come positive, the doctor will further stress upon doing the biopsy to know whether the tumour is cancerous or not.
