About the Surgery

Brain tumor surgery in Lucknow, India | Charak Hospital 

Overview 

An abnormal mass or development of cells in the brain is called a brain tumor.

Brain tumors come in a variety of different forms. While some brain tumors are malignant (cancerous), others are benign (noncancerous). Primary brain tumors are brain cancers that originate in the brain, whereas metastatic brain tumors are brain cancers that originate elsewhere in the body and spread to the brain.

There are wide variations in the growth rate of brain tumors. The location and development rate of a brain tumor determine how it will affect the way your nervous system works.

Your treatment options are influenced by the kind, location, and size of your brain tumor.

Sign & Symptoms: 

Depending on the tumor's size, location, and development pace, there are a variety of signs and symptoms associated with brain tumors.
Many symptoms and indicators, such as the following, can be caused by brain tumors:

• Headaches that are unfamiliar to you or have altered in pattern

• Headaches that worsen and become more frequent with time

• Experiencing inexplicable vomiting or nausea

• Vision problems include blurry vision, double vision, and loss of peripheral vision.

• Gradual loss of feeling or ability to move in an arm or limb

• Balance issues

• Difficulties speaking

• Perplexity in everyday circumstances

• Judging is turning out to be a challenging task.

Treatment: 

At Charak Institute of Neurosciences, we provide a comprehensive range of therapeutic and surgical options for brain tumors. These are some of them:

Surgery: Your neurosurgeon will attempt to remove as much of the brain tumor  is feasible if it is in a place where surgery may be done without risk.
Surgical excision is possible for some brain tumors because they are small and simple to remove from the surrounding brain tissue. Surgery is risky for other brain tumors because they cannot be separated from the surrounding tissue or because they are near sensitive areas of the brain. In these situations, your neurosurgeon will remove as much of the tumor as is safe.
You may feel better even if you remove a portion of your brain tumor.
While a brain tumor is being surgically removed, hemorrhage and infection might happen. Depending on where in your brain the tumor is located, there could be different risks. For example, losing your vision could come from surgery on a tumor close to nerves that connect to your eyes.

We offer endoscopic tumor surgery at Charak Hospital, Lucknow, which results in less blood loss and a speedy recovery.

Charak Hospital also offers the most cutting-edge treatment for microscopic neurosurgery, should it be necessary.

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a medical procedure that employs chemotherapeutic agents to destroy tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs are administered intravenously, through a vein injection, or as pills. The most commonly used chemotherapeutic drug for treating brain tumors is temozolomide. Different chemotherapy drugs could be recommended, depending on the type of cancer.

Your experience with side effects during chemotherapy is influenced by the kind and dosage of drugs you take. Among its many adverse effects, chemotherapy can include vomiting, nausea, and hair loss.
According to examinations of the cells in your brain tumor, chemotherapy might be helpful for you. Whether or not chemotherapy is advised will also depend on the type of brain tumor you have.

Targeted Therapy: Treatments with targeted medications are intended to specifically target aberrations present in cancer cells. By preventing these abnormalities, targeted drug therapies have the ability to destroy cancer cells.

Targeted treatment drugs are available for several types of brain tumors, and numerous others are being studied in clinical trials. Your doctor may examine your tumor cells to see whether targeted therapy is likely to be a successful treatment for your brain tumor.
