The most common test for diagnosing Brain cancer is a CT scan. However the MRI test is rapidly gaining popularity and preference over CT scan due to its higher degree of sensitivity towards changes in the anatomy of the brain.
(prHWY.com) January 24, 2013 - Nagpur, India -- Even in the twenty-first century, brain cancer strikes fear in the hearts of patients in India and around the world. But in this era, is this fear really rational? With the latest advancements in medical understanding, victims can now fight back the cancer with confidence and courage. Brain cancer is actually a condition in which a lump of cells in the brain exhibit abnormal growth characteristics taking up the space and resources of other healthy cells. These cancerous cells may originate in brain in the case with primary brain cancer; or they may be transported to the brain from other parts of the body through the bloodstream. This is metastatic or secondary brain cancer. Tumours in the brain which are malignant also contain cancerous cells. However, benign tumours are usually harmless.
The most common symptoms of brain cancer are nervous imbalance, seizures, weakness, headaches and nausea. The victim often suffers from disorientation, blurred vision and loss of alertness, memory and clarity of speech. But does the presence of any or all of these symptoms prove the presence of brain cancer? They do not. However, if these symptoms persist, the person must definitely get tested. Alarmingly, in a few cases, brain cancers arising from certain tumours in the meninges or the pituitary gland may show no symptom at all.
The most common test for diagnosing Brain cancer is a CT scan. However the MRI test is rapidly gaining popularity and preference over CT scan due to its higher degree of sensitivity towards changes in the anatomy of the brain. Occasionally a biopsy may be conducted to further assist in the diagnosis.But if these tests show any indication of the presence of tumour, surgery is an absolute necessity. Unfortunately, it is often impossible to tell whether a tumour is benign or malignant or define the boundaries of the tumour unless the tissue is observed by the neurosurgeon directly under a microscope.
Brain cancer surgery is one of the toughest operations and requires extreme skill on the part of the surgeon. The object is to very precisely identify the abnormal cells and to remove as much of the cancerous lump as possible without harming the healthy cells around. Fortunately India is recognised as one of the fore-runners of surgical expertise, with a large number of patients pouring in from different parts of the world for surgical purposes. Medical tourism India is relatively a new phenomenon but has already experienced a massive boom in recent years. The proficiency of Indian surgeons and the immense touring opportunities here make a tour to India very alluring to patients from abroad.
It is evident that brain cancer is not something to be taken lightly. However, fear and depression are the last emotions that a victim must feel.
