The Cure For Brain Cancer

Brain cancer is a disease of the brain in which cancer cells grow to form a mass of cancer tissue that interferes with brain functions such as muscle control, sensation, memory. Brain cancer is an overgrowth of cells in the brain that forms masses called tumors. Go through with this PPT and know how to cure for brain cancer.

  1. THE CURE FOR BRAIN CANCER

  2. Brain cancer is a disease of the brain in which cancer cells grow to form a mass of cancer tissue that interferes with brain functions such as muscle control, sensation, memory. Brain cancer is an overgrowth of cells in the brain that forms masses called tumors.

  3. TUMORS ARE CANCEROUS Brain tumors include various types of brain cancer however not all brain tumors are cancerous. Brain cancer is graded from 1 to 4 depending on how it is likely to behave such as speed of growth and how likely they are to spread. These grades are then split into low grade (1-2) and high grade (3-4), low- grade tumors defined as non-cancerous and high- grade tumors as cancerous.

  4. TYPES OF BRAIN CANCER Types of brain cancer indicates what kind of brain cells that gave rise to the tumor. if abnormal brain cells begin to grow and multiply, contained within the brain, this is how a primary brain tumor can occur. If the cells go wrong elsewhere in the body first in the lungs and those cells spread to the brain, this is known as secondary brain cancer or metastases.

  5. DIAGNOSIS The methods used to diagnose brain cancer including scans such as CT scans or MRI, biomarker testing and laboratory analysis. A brain tissue biopsy may be obtained by surgery or insertion of a needle to help determine the diagnosis. Another test is white blood cell counts, electrolytes or examination of cerebrospinal fluid to detect abnormal cells.

  6. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF BRAIN CANCER Brain cancer causes symptoms which pushes the brain to destroys brain tissue. Symptoms depend on the size and location of the tumor as well as how quickly it grows. Some symptoms of brain cancer are Variation in Headache, nausea and vomiting, Changes in your ability to talk, hear or see, Problems with balance or walking, Problems with thinking, Muscle jerking, Numbness.

  7. TREATMENT OPTIONS Brain cancer treatment varies depending on the size and type of tumor, the patient’s age, and other health issues. Some of the brain cancer treatment includes surgery, radiation therapy known as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
