We provide professional support in Brain Tumors.
Brain tumors are classified according to their degree from low to high (from first degree to fourth
degree). The degree of a tumor indicates how the cancer cells look under a
microscope. Cells of high-grade tumors appear more normal than low-grade
ones and generally grow faster.
that begin to form in brain tissue are called primary brain
tumors. Primary brain tumors are classified according to the cells they
originate from or the region of the brain.
Secondary Tumor Tumors Malignant
tumor cells in any tissue or organ in the body can reach the brain through the
bloodstream and cause a new tumor to form there. Such tumors are called
secondary brain tumors or metastatic brain tumors.
The symptoms of a brain tumor
depend on the diameter, type, and presence of the tumor. Signs can be
caused by the tumor pressing on the nerve endings, damaging the brain, or
causing the tumor to grow and cause fluid to accumulate in the
skull. Among the most common symptoms of brain tumors:
Headaches worsening in the morning,
Nausea and / or vomiting,
Change in speech, sight or hearing,
Standing or standing balance problem,
Excessive change in personality, mood, or ability to concentrate,
Muscle twitching, contraction, spasm or seizures
There is a feeling of numbness or tingling in the arms and legs
However, these symptoms can often be caused by a health
problem other than a brain tumor. It is important for people with these
symptoms to see a doctor right away for early diagnosis and treatment.
The following methods are used in the diagnosis of tumor cells.
Computed tomography (CT)
MR survey (MR)
BOS (cerebrospinal fluid) research
Surgeons can use three methods to look at tumor cells:
Biopsy performed simultaneously with treatment
Depending on the type, degree and class of the tumor, patients are treated with surgery, radiotherapy or
chemotherapy. Some patients may receive a combination of these treatments.
In addition, at any stage of the disease, they can participate in special treatment programs that will
control the pain and symptoms of cancer, alleviate the romantic problems caused
by the side effects of treatment. These treatments are called symptom
management, supportive care, and palliative care.
