A brain tumor is an abnormal increase in the number of cells that make up the brain. Brain Tumors are classified as Primary , where the origin of tumor is from the cells of the brain itself, or Metastatic , where tissue of origin for the tumor lies outside the brain. In India, 5-10 per 100,000 people are affected by brain cancer. The rate of survival depends on many factors like the age of the patient, the type of tumor they have, the stage when it was diagnosed, and if appropriate treatment has been given.
Two types of tumors exist.
- Benign (noncancerous)
- Malignant(cancerous)
Benign
tumors grow slowly and are less aggressive; they never spread
to other body parts of a person while malignant ones spread
quickly invading other regions within the brain or spinal
cord.
For effective management of different types and
stages of brain cancers, field it is essential to consult a
competent brain tumor surgeon. in Faridabad, where life is
fast paced, a compassionate and technichally oriented approach
ensures a good quality of life outcome. For compassionate care
that ensures an improved quality of life following a brain
tumor surgery go for specialized neurosurgeons in Faridabad.

Top Reasons for Brain Tumor
Brain tumors refer
to several neoplasms, which are intricate and diverse. Several
types of cells can create such tumors in the brain or tissues
close to it.
What follows are some causes of brain tumors.
Genetic factors:
In some cases, gene
mutations or inherited conditions may heighten the risk of one
having specific categories of brain tumors. Neurofibromatosis,
tuberous sclerosis Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and von Hippel-Lindau
disease are examples of genetic disorders. Genetic mutations
or defects that preposition predispose individuals to develop
brain tumors.
Radiation exposure:
Prior exposure to ionizing radiation from either medical treatments (e.g., radiation therapy for other cancers) or environmental sources (e.g., radiation accidents) is known to increase the chances of developing brain tumors. The duration between radiation exposure and tumor development can take place over many years and sometimes even decades.
Age:
Though they can occur at any age, certain kinds occur more commonly in different age groups. For instance, the most prevalent type of malignant adult brain cancer is glioma which tends to be more frequent among older people than their younger counterparts. On the contrary, medulloblastomas, PNETs, ependymoma
Environmental
Factors:
Environmental factors are related to increased risks of brain tumor development. These might involve exposure to some chemicals like pesticides, solvents, and other industrial compounds. However, causal links between environmental exposures and brain tumor incidence often remain ambiguous and therefore need further research.
Immune System Disorders:
Immune system disorders such as HIV/AIDS may destroy the body’s ability to suppress abnormal growth increasing the chance of getting certain types of brain tumors.
Hormonal
Factors:
Hormonal imbalances or disruptions in hormone levels can be a contributor to the formation of certain types of brain tumors. For instance, pituitary adenomas that arise from the pituitary gland could be influenced by hormones.
Family History:
Though the
majority of brain tumors are not inheritable; there are a few
cases that may arise due to family history. Researchers
continue their work on genetic causes for familial cancerous
brains.
It is important to note that while these
factors may contribute to getting brain tumors, most cases
occur spontaneously without any known reasons for occurrence.
Ongoing research is also essential for more clarification on
this matter. If you see any early signs of brain tumor then
immediately consult a specialist.
What is the process of brain tumor treatment in Faridabad?
Diagnosis:
First, Dr. Naresh Panwar will diagnose and check if you have any symptoms that suggest a brain tumor treatment after performing a series of tests, including MRI and CT scans, to confirm the presence of the tumor and to determine the size of the location.
Treatment planning:
If the reports come positive, then based on the diagnosis, we create a personalized treatment plan that can treat your brain tumor effectively, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments. Depending on the stage of the tumor you might be suffering from.
Surgery:
To initiate the treatment and alleviate symptoms caused by pressure on the brain, Dr. Panwar will try to excise the tumor as much as possible.
Radiation therapy:
After surgery to remove any remaining primary cancerous cells in the brain, high-energy beams are utilized to destroy cancer cells.
Chemotherapy:
In case a patient has cancer cells, including those that may be given orally or intravenously with powerful drugs or with other treatments.
Follow-up care:
Patients who have undergone treatment for brain tumors will routinely see Dr. Naresh Panwar for monitoring of progress and assessment of signs that either suggest recurrence or progression of side effects from treatment
Supportive care:
Supportive care during brain tumor treatment will help you control your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
