What is Brain Cancer?

When the cells of the brain grow abnormally, brain tumours develop. Primary brain tumours arise in the brain whereas secondary brain tumours develop when cancer has begun in other parts of the body and has spread to the brain. Primary brain tumours are a result of DNA mutations in the brain cells. These brain tumours can be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign). The location of a brain tumour and its growth rate determines its effect on the nervous system. Brain tumours can spread through the CSF to distant parts of the brain or spine.

Diagnostic Tests for Brain Cancer in Kolkata

Neurological exam: Your doctor evaluates several neurological functions such as hearing ability, vision, ability to balance, etc.

Brain scans: These imaging scans help doctors to accurately diagnose brain cancer and to plan the treatment. Usually, MRI and CT scans are preferred to obtain detailed images of the brain.

Biopsy: A biopsy is useful for finding the grade of a brain tumour. This grade gives information about how severe the brain tumour is and also helps to get the most personalised treatment. If your doctor feels the biopsy is not safe, they will prepare your treatment plan based on the other diagnostic test results.

These diagnostic tests are primarily performed. Other tests may also be done based on your specific symptoms. Such tests include; neurocognitive assessment, lumbar puncture, endocrinological evaluation, neuro-ophthalmological examination, and electroencephalography (EEG).

The best cancer clinic in hyderabad. Dr. Amit and Dr. Shikhar are one of the most experienced oncos available. My father has esopheagul cancer. They gave a tremendous treatment regimen. Very sympathetic and highly transparent in their approach and absolutely non commercial. Their new infrastructure idea of giving chemo therapy with an ambience of recliners, open view and foot massages is really great. You dont feel like you are in a hospital at all, that really helps the patients psych. The really awesome thing about this centre is the senior doctors are available on call any time of the day. And when I say anytime. Really anytime of the day. I would definitely recommend this to every one looking for a cancer treatment, especially for people who are soectical of the big hospital infra and where patients are just numbers with no personal touch involved.

I'm suffering from stage 4 castration resistant Prostate carcinoma. Dr. Shikar Kumar sir explained us very well about the treatment plan and options. The main appreciable thing is the time taken by him to explain everything and answer the doubts patiently with empathetic approach. He and the staff would also call through phone to remind about the additional care that has to be taken at home and inquire about any side effects. Though this condition is incurable, effort for progression-free survival along with the quality of life is more important and Dr. Shikar sir has been very helpful in this along with palliative care. Thank you very much sir. And the chemotherapy cycles were given in such a delightful environment, with convertible sofa chair and large window view from 5th floor, that it feels more like home than hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions on Brain Cancer Treatment In Kolkata

For most brain tumours, surgery is the best option. In Kolkata, you can get optimal surgery with advanced technologies at Onco Cancer Centres. In addition to surgery, doctors may also recommend radiotherapy or chemotherapy. You can get the complete details of your condition including the best treatment option for you through Onco’s multidisciplinary panel of cancer experts.

 

In general, surgery is the prefered option for early-stage brain tumours. In cases where a tumour has spread to other areas of the brain and body, whole-brain radiation therapy is chosen. Other than that, chemotherapy and targeted therapy are also available.

 

Brain cancer is described in grades i.e., grades 1 to 4, rather than stages. The higher the grade, the more invasive the brain cancer. In grade 4 brain cancer, tumour cells are more abnormal and can spread rapidly throughout the brain and other parts of the body.

 

Like all surgeries, brain surgery also carries some complications like bleeding, increased risk of infections, or undesired effects of anaesthesia. Compared to these risks, the benefits are satisfactory since surgery is the most preferable option for brain cancer. Some people do not need any treatment other than surgery. Highly trained and experienced surgeons perform the surgery and also prescribe necessary medications to deal with side effects.

 

Chemotherapy uses powerful anti-cancer medicines to kill cancer cells. Chemo can be given in combination with surgery or radiation therapy to effectively treat brain cancer. It has the ability to cure early-stage brain cancers. But for final-stage brain cancer, chemo can be used to suppress the growth of cancer cells and to expand the life of a patient.

 

Span of brain cancer treatment depends on the type of treatment you receive. Brain cancer surgery lasts 2 to 7 hours followed by continuous monitoring. Chemotherapy is given in 5 to 6 cycles and one cycle lasts for 28 days. So, it takes around 2 to 6 months. Radiotherapy is offered in one to five sessions and one session will be around 15 minutes to 2 hours and you can go home on the same day.

 

Surgery is the primary or the only option for many types of brain tumours. If the patient is unfit for surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy will be chosen. An advanced type of radiotherapy, namely stereotactic radiosurgery is available for the effective treatment of brain cancer.

 

Stage 4 brain cancer can be referred to as grade 4 brain cancer. Since grade 4 brain cancer is very aggressive, the five-year survival rate is. These survival rates differ from case to case depending on the tumour’s location and size. So, ask your treating doctor about your life expectancy.

 

Brain tumours are of several types and each type doesn’t grow quickly. Only grade 3 and grade 4 tumours may grow fast and spread quickly. In most cases, primary brain cancers are less likely to spread beyond the nervous system.

 

Early-stage brain cancer is possible to cure with surgery. But this cure rate also depends on the tumour’s location, size, and grade. If a brain tumour is near a sensitive region of the brain, it cannot be surgically removed. So, whole brain radiotherapy is chosen to treat the brain tumour to the maximum. Ask your doctor about your brain cancer and how treatable it is.

 

According to the National Brain Tumour Society, the average five-year survival rate for malignant brain tumours is 35.6%. This survival rate is influenced by many factors such as the patient’s age, tumour type and grade. Younger adults under the age of 40 and patients with low-grade brain cancer can expect a survival rate of up to 5 years after treatment. These stats may not apply to all as they vary from patient to patient. Your doctor can estimate your survival considering your specific case details. Many advanced treatments are available these days to effectively treat brain tumours and to increase the life span.
