Brain tumor is referred to as the abnormal mass of cells in the brain that have no purpose. In general, tumors occur when cells divide and grow excessively in the body.
There are basically two types of brain tumors:
Primary tumors- primary tumor is the tumor that begins in the brain itself. It can be either benign (that does not contain cancer cells) or malignant (contain cancer cells)
Secondary or Metastatic tumors- When a cancerous tumor starts elsewhere in the body and sends cells which end up growing in the brain, such tumors are called secondary or metastatic brain tumors.
Brain tumors can occur at any age and the exact cause of having a brain tumor is not clear, but there are certain risk factors that may predispose you to risk of developing primary brain tumor. These include;
Treatment of the brain tumor depends upon the size, location and type of the tumor. Following are the most commonly used treatment for brain tumors:
Pen surgery (Craniotomy): Surgery aims at removing the brain tumors which shall help in decreasing the disabling signs and symptoms. Craniotomy is a common and traditional procedure to access the tumor and remove as much tumor as possible and safely. The open surgery carries the risk of infection, bleeding and other complications like injury to the nearby nerve that may lead to vision loss. But at the same time, removing a tumor through open surgery sometimes becomes essential due to the size and type of the tumor.
Minimally invasive surgery/ Micro craniotomy: Minimally invasive brain surgery or Micro craniotomy is done using highly advanced technology such as intraoperative MRI suite. This is done for certain brain tumors deep under the surface of the brain. A small opening, around half an inch of diameter is used to reach the tumor. Minimally invasive surgery minimizes damage to normal brain tissue overlying the tumor and is much safer than open surgery. However, not all tumors can be removed through this technique and it has its own limitations.
If you are suffering from symptoms such as frequent headaches, nausea, vomiting, blurring of vision, loss of peripheral vision or double vision, gradual sensory and motor loss of arm or legs, difficulty in maintaining balance, speech, confusions, seizures, hearing problems, you need to see a neurologist immediately. If you are diagnosed with a brain tumor, you need brain tumor surgery as soon as possible.
Recovery depends upon the type of surgery done and the medical condition of the patient. For procedures such as open surgery or Craniotomy, you would stay at the hospital for 8-10 days and recovery would take around 3-4 weeks, while with a non-invasive procedure such as gamma knife or cyberknife, recovery is much faster.
The result of brain tumor surgery depends upon the size, location and type of tumors. If the tumor has been completely removed, you can expect to lead a completely normal life, whereas in cases when it is secondary or cancerous, further treatment may be required and results depend upon the prognosis.
We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for brain tumor surgery in India.
Prepare to answer questions about your:
Patients are typically advised to attend physiotherapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy sessions on a regular basis following surgery. The goal of these treatments is to hasten recovery and allow patients to resume their normal daily activities as soon as possible.
The likelihood of survival is determined by the kind, stage, and grade of breast cancer. When compared to adults, children have a higher chance of surviving.
Speech impairments, muscle weakness, coordination issues, and balancing difficulties are all possible side effects of brain surgery.
The excision of a tumor from the brain can take anywhere from four to six hours.
Depending on the type of surgery performed, you may or may not be able to drive a car. After a craniotomy, you cannot drive for at least six months.
Memory loss can occur as a result of brain surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, but only in rare situations. Swelling in the brain following brain surgery might impair its function. Memory issues are one example, but they are only transient.

I recently traveled to Mumbai for a lower body lift and breast lift. As an American nurse living in Saudi Arabia I was apprehensive at first and did months of research. I chose IndiCure because of Dr. Jagannathan. I traveled alone and spent almost 3 weeks there undergoing 2 separate procedures. I was pleasantly surprised. The surgeries both went flawless. All of the hospital staff was amazing. Read Michelle Williams's Review About IndiCure Here
