What are Brain Tumours?
"Brain tumour" refers to abnormal cells in or on the brain. CNS tumours are the brain and spinal cord tumours.
Malignant brain tumours make up one-third. Brain tumours that push on nerves, blood vessels, and tissue, regardless of malignancy, can have catastrophic effects on brain function and require prompt brain tumour treatment.
Major signs of Brain Tumour:
Headaches
Seizures
Inability to think clearly or express
Changes in personality
Side-body tingling
One-sided stiffness
Loss of balance
Change in vision
Memory loss
Nausea
Disorientation
Fatigue and muscle weakness
Anxiety/depression
Risk factors of the brain tumour condition:

Diagnostic procedures that are recommended in case a Brain Tumour is suspected:
A Neurological exam:
Neurological exams examine vision, hearing, balance, coordination, strength, and reflexes. One or more symptoms may suggest a brain tumour.
Imaging tests:
MRI is frequently used to assist in the diagnosis of brain malignancies. Occasionally, a dye is administered through a vein in the arm during an MRI.
Angiography:
This test includes injecting dye into a groin artery. The dye enters cerebral arteries. Your doctor can observe malignancy blood flow. This aids in brain tumour surgery.
Skull X-rays:
Specific X-rays can reveal a brain tumor-caused skull fracture. In addition, X-rays can identify calcium deposits in tumours. Calcium deposits in the blood may indicate bone malignancy.
Biopsy:
A biopsy removes a small amount of tumour. The biopsy determines if tumour cells are benign or malignant. It will also determine if cancer started in the brain or elsewhere and helps in brain tumour surgery.
Treatment options that are provided to treat the brain tumour condition:
Brain surgery:
Neurosurgeons will remove the tumour if possible. To minimize harm to functional regions of your brain, they sometimes do brain tumor removal surgery on you while you are awake (you will not experience pain).
Brachytherapy:
This is a sort of radiation therapy. It involves surgically placing radioactive seeds, capsules, or other implants directly in or near the cancerous tumour.
Chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy is given intravenously or orally. After surgery, your brain tumour specialist may recommend chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells or slow tumour growth.
Targeted therapy:
This treatment targets cancer cells without harming healthy ones. The cost of brain tumour treatment is reasonable; therefore, anyone may get it.
Immunotherapy:
Immunotherapy uses the immune system to fight brain tumours. This brain tumour treatment focuses on boosting the immune system.
Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA)
As a surgical tool, an ultrasonic cavitation device uses ultrasound energy at a low frequency to dissect or fragment tissues containing a little amount of fibrous material. It's essentially an aspirator attached to an ultrasonic probe (acoustic vibrator).
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM)
When the brain, spinal cord, or nerves of a patient are at risk of being damaged during surgery, this monitoring is referred to as intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). One of the goals of IONM is to prevent damage to the neurological system.
Many different diagnostic procedures exist for assessing nervous system health. Standard IONM procedures involve stimulating the nerve system with electrical current and then monitoring the resulting changes.
Along with the mentioned treatments the following like Navigation guidance, Brain aneurysm surgery, Fluorescein microsurgery, and High end Microsurgery can be recommended.

Malignant brain tumour prognosis depends on location, size, and grade. If identified early, a brain tumour can be healed; recurrences are possible but treatable.

Some gene alterations are inherited, but most brain and spinal cord tumours aren't. Other than radiation, no lifestyle or environmental factors are associated with brain cancer.
It affects 5 to 8-year-olds. Most juvenile brain tumours are low-grade gliomas. Medulloblastomas are children's most common brain malignancy. Before age 10, most medulloblastomas arise.
