Brain & Spine Tumor
A brain or spine tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain or spinal cord.
Tumors can be benign (slow growing) or malignant (aggressive and fast growing).
They can affect vital functions like movement, speech, vision, and sensation.
Types of Tumors
- Benign (non-cancerous) – slow growing
- Malignant (cancerous) – aggressive and fast growing
Brain Tumor Signs
- Persistent or early morning headache
- Vomiting (especially without nausea)
- Seizures
- Weakness in one side of body
- Vision or speech problems
- Personality or memory changes
Spine Tumor Signs
- Back or neck pain (worse at night)
- Pain radiating to arms/legs
- Numbness or tingling
- Difficulty walking
- Loss of bladder/bowel control
Red Flags (Urgent Evaluation Needed)
- Progressive weakness
- Recurrent vomiting with headache
- New onset seizures
- Difficulty in walking or balance
- Sudden vision or speech disturbance
Diagnosis
- MRI Brain/Spine (most important test)
- CT Scan (in emergencies)
- Biopsy (to confirm tumor type)
Treatment Options
- Surgery (including minimally invasive techniques)
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy
- Targeted therapy (in selected cases)
Treatment depends on tumor type, size, and location.
