brain tumorBrain tumors were tumors that occurred in the brain, including benign and malignant tumors.
Benign tumors grow slowly and do not invade the surrounding tissues, while malignant tumors grow rapidly and invade the surrounding tissues and may metastasize to other parts. The cause of the disease was not yet clear, but it might be related to genetics, environmental factors, radiation, and so on.
In terms of clinical manifestations, headache was a relatively common symptom. This kind of headache was usually gradually aggravated and persistent. It might be most obvious when one woke up in the morning. This was caused by the increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the body at night, which increased the pressure in the brain. There may be numbness in the hands or limbs, which is due to the area of the brain that controls sensation and movement being suppressed or damaged by the tumor. Of course, occasional numbness may be due to improper sleeping posture or poor blood circulation, but if it continues and there is no obvious external cause, it needs to be taken seriously. In addition, there may be blurred vision, language barriers, memory loss and other symptoms. Tumors in different parts of the body will cause different symptoms. You can't judge whether there is a brain tumor by one performance alone. When multiple symptoms appear at the same time, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
In terms of diagnosis, the tumor could be found through radiology such as CT and MRI.
The treatment method needed to be determined according to the type, size, location, and other factors of the tumor, mainly including surgery, chemotherapy, and so on. In terms of surgical treatment, for example, surgery for a tumor in the cerebrum needed to open the bone, cut open the dura, and remove the tumor. At the same time, care should be taken to protect the cerebrum and other related tissues. For some tumors, if they were benign, they might not need to be treated with radiation and chemotherapy, such as choroid plexus papilomas. Drug therapy commonly used dehydrated agents, anti-epilepsy drugs, targeted drugs, and so on. Patients should maintain a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, beans and other foods, and avoid eating spicy, greasy, and stimulating foods.
