What is Brain Cancer?

A brain tumor is an abnormal cell growth of tissue in the brain. Doctors refer to a tumor based on where the tumor cells originated, and whether they are cancerous (malignant) or not (benign). And not all brain tumors are cancer.

There are many types of brain cancer

• ✅ Choroid plexus carcinoma
• ✅ Craniopharyngioma
• ✅ Embryonal tumors
• ✅ Ependymoma
• ✅ Medulloblastoma
• ✅ Pineoblastoma

Brain cancer involves complex conditions that affect the brain, and dealing with it requires thorough understanding and meticulous care. Here's an overview including symptoms, risk factors, surgical preparations, the surgery itself, post-procedure care, success rates, and frequently asked questions:

Brain Cancer Symptoms

Symptoms of brain cancer can vary widely but commonly include:

• Headaches: Often worse in the morning or improve after vomiting.
• Seizures: Different types, depending on the tumor's location.
• Personality or Behavior Change: Alterations in mood, personality, or concentration.
• Nausea or Vomiting: Especially without other cause.
• Fatigue: A deep sense of weariness that doesn't get better with rest.
• Speech or Vision Problems: Difficulty speaking or changes in vision.
• Difficulty Walking or Clumsiness: Problems with balance or coordination.

Risk Factors for Brain Cancer

While the exact causes of brain cancer are not clearly understood, several risk factors are identified:

• Genetic Factors: A small percentage of brain tumors may be linked to genetic conditions like neurofibromatosis or Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
• Exposure to Radiation: Radiation therapy to the head, a treatment for other cancers, increases the risk of brain tumors.
• Previous Cancer: People who have had other cancers have a higher risk of developing secondary brain tumors.
• Chemical Exposure: Exposure to certain chemicals, like those used in oil refining or rubber manufacturing, may increase risk.

Preparation for Surgery

Before undergoing brain cancer surgery, several important steps are taken:

• Medical Evaluation: Comprehensive assessment including blood tests, MRI or CT scans.
• Consultation: Discussions with a neurosurgeon, anesthesiologist, and other healthcare professionals.
• Preoperative Instructions: These might include medication adjustments and fasting instructions.

Surgical Procedure

Brain cancer surgery aims to remove as much of the tumor as possible while preserving surrounding brain function. The type of surgery depends on the tumor's location and size but typically includes:

• Craniotomy: Opening the skull to access the tumor.
• Use of Technology: Advanced technology like MRI and CT scans may be used during surgery to guide the procedure.

Post-Procedure Care

After surgery, care includes:

• Observation: Monitoring for complications like swelling or bleeding in the brain.
• Medication: Pain management and possibly medication to control brain swelling.
• Rehabilitation: May include physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy depending on the affected areas.

Success Rate

1. Early Stages (Stage I & II)

Success Rate: High

• Survival Chances: 70-90% live 5 years or more.
• Why?: Tumors are smaller and less aggressive, making complete removal easier.

2. Mid Stages (Stage III)

• Success Rate: Moderate
• Survival Chances: 40-70% live 5 years or more.
• Why?: Tumors are larger and more aggressive, but surgery can still remove most of the tumor.

3. Advanced Stages (Stage IV)

• Success Rate: Lower
• Survival Chances: 10-20% live 5 years or more; average survival is 12-18 months.
• Why?: Tumors are very aggressive and widespread, so surgery focuses on reducing size and relieving symptoms.
