Brain Tumours

The human brain is a remarkable organ, controlling our thoughts, emotions, and nearly every function in the body. When a tumour develops in this vital area, it can have severe consequences on a person's well-being. Brain tumours can arise from various types of cells and can affect individuals of any age.

Common Symptoms:

- Persistent headaches, often worse in the morning

- Seizures or muscle spasms

- Vision problems, such as blurred vision or double vision

- Loss of balance or coordination

- Muscle weakness or numbness in parts of the body

- Changes in behaviour, personality, or cognitive abilities

- Speech difficulties

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's crucial to seek medical attention promptly, as early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.

Treatment Procedures:

The treatment approach for brain tumours depends on several factors, including the tumour type, size, location, and the patient's overall health. Common treatment options include:

1. Surgery: Neurosurgeons may perform craniotomies (opening the skull) or minimally invasive procedures to remove the tumour, if possible.

2. Radiation Therapy: High-energy radiation is used to shrink or destroy tumour cells.

3. Chemotherapy: Certain medications can help kill cancer cells or prevent their growth.

4. Targeted Therapy: Newer treatments target specific molecules involved in tumour growth 

Our team of experienced neurosurgeons offers comprehensive care for patients with brain tumours. We employ the latest techniques and technologies to provide personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial, and we are committed to supporting our patients every step of the way.
