Brain Tumor
Expert Care by Dr. Divyesh Pathak
Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells within the brain or nearby areas. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and can lead to significant health challenges. At Adwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center, we offer a full spectrum of services to help you fight brain tumors, from early detection to post-treatment recovery.
Types of Brain Tumors We Treat:
- Gliomas (Astrocytomas, Oligodendrogliomas, Ependymomas)
- Meningiomas
- Pituitary Tumors
- Metastatic Brain Tumors
- Medulloblastomas
- Benign Brain Tumors
- Malignant Brain Tumors
Signs and Symptoms of Brain Tumors
Brain tumors may present with a range of symptoms, depending on their size, location, and type. Common signs include:
- Persistent or severe headaches: Especially if they worsen over time or change in intensity.
- Seizures: New-onset seizures in adults or changes in existing seizure patterns.
- Vision problems: Blurred vision, double vision, or loss of peripheral vision.
- Nausea or vomiting: Especially in the morning or after waking up.
- Memory loss: Difficulty recalling simple information or important details.
- Speech or language difficulties: Trouble articulating words or understanding language.
- Balance or coordination problems: Difficulty walking or maintaining balance.
- Weakness or numbness: Unexplained weakness in the limbs or face.
- Personality changes: Mood swings, irritability, or unusual behavior.
Diagnosis of Brain Tumors
Accurate diagnosis is critical for determining the most effective treatment. At Adwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to identify brain tumors early and accurately.
Diagnostic Tools Include:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): A highly detailed imaging technique to identify the size, location, and type of brain tumor.
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: A non-invasive scan to provide detailed images of the brain.
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan: Helps detect the activity of the tumor and if it has spread.
- Biopsy: A sample of the tumor may be taken for laboratory analysis to determine its type and malignancy.
- Electroencephalogram (EEG): Used to assess electrical activity in the brain, often helpful for diagnosing tumors causing seizures.
After the diagnostic tests, Dr. Divyesh Pathak and the team will discuss the results and create a personalized treatment plan based on the specific type of brain tumor.
Pre-Treatment Care
Preparation for brain tumor treatment depends on the type of treatment (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, etc.) and the patient’s overall health. Our pre-treatment care is designed to ensure that you are physically and mentally prepared for your procedure.
Pre-Surgery Care Includes:
- Medical Evaluation: A thorough assessment of your health to ensure you are ready for surgery.
- Pre-Operative Testing: Blood tests, imaging studies, and any necessary consultations with specialists to assess the tumor’s position and size.
- Medication Management: If prescribed, we’ll help manage medications, including those for blood pressure, blood thinners, or anti-seizure medications.
- Psychological Support: We provide counseling to help alleviate anxiety or fear, preparing you emotionally for the procedure.
- Nutrition & Hydration: Patients are given dietary recommendations to optimize health prior to surgery.
We also ensure that you understand what to expect during the procedure, and provide clear instructions for pre-surgical fasting or medication administration.
Treatment Options for Brain Tumors
Dr. Divyesh Pathak and the team at Adwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center offer a range of cutting-edge treatments for brain tumors:
- Surgical Resection: Removing the tumor using advanced neurosurgical techniques. Depending on the location and size, surgery may involve minimally invasive techniques or more extensive surgery.
- Radiotherapy: Targeted radiation therapy (such as Stereotactic Radiosurgery) is used to shrink or eliminate tumor cells without the need for invasive surgery.
- Chemotherapy: Drug treatment for malignant tumors to stop the growth of cancer cells, either administered orally or intravenously.
- Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy: Newer treatments that target specific tumor markers or use the immune system to fight cancer cells.
- Palliative Care: For advanced tumors, palliative treatments focus on pain relief and quality of life.
Post-Treatment Care
After brain tumor treatment, recovery and post-treatment care are critical to ensuring a positive outcome and managing any potential complications.
Post-Surgery & Recovery:
- ICU Care: After surgery, many patients are closely monitored in the ICU to ensure proper recovery and manage any immediate post-operative concerns.
- Physical Rehabilitation: Depending on the location and extent of the tumor, rehabilitation may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy to regain lost functions and improve quality of life.
- Regular Follow-ups: You’ll have regular follow-up visits with Dr. Pathak to monitor your recovery and perform imaging tests to ensure there is no tumor recurrence.
- Medication: Post-surgery medications may include pain management, anti-inflammatory drugs, or anti-seizure medications.
- Psychosocial Support: We offer counseling services and support groups to help you cope with the emotional and psychological aspects of recovery.
Our team provides comprehensive follow-up care to ensure your physical, emotional, and psychological well-being during your recovery process.
