Brain Tumor Surgery
A brain tumor is the result of abnormal cell growth in the brain. These tumors can be dangerous as they compress healthy brain tissue, depriving it of vital nutrients and oxygen needed to function properly. Brain tumors can disrupt the brain's normal operations as they grow, causing serious consequences for the body.
When a patient is in overall good health, surgery is often the preferred treatment option. The goal of surgery is to control tumor growth when it cannot be completely removed. The specific surgical approach depends on factors such as the type, size, and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's age and overall health.

Who Needs Brain Tumor Surgery?
Brain tumor surgery may be recommended in the following cases:
-
Primary brain cancers or metastatic brain tumors
-
Tumors of the pituitary gland or tumors located at the base of the pituitary
-
Other brain tumors impacting normal brain function
Brain Tumor Symptoms
The symptoms of a brain tumor can vary depending on the tumor's size and location. Some common signs include:
-
Persistent headaches
-
Balance issues or coordination problems
-
Memory loss and difficulty concentrating
-
Behavioral changes
-
Vision changes
Brain Tumor Diagnosis
-
CT Scan: A detailed imaging test to examine the brain.
-
X-rays: Used to detect any structural abnormalities.
-
MRI Scan: Provides high-resolution images of the brain to identify the tumor's size and location.
-
Biopsy: Involves taking tissue samples from the tumor for analysis to confirm the diagnosis.
-
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Assesses overall health and identifies signs of infection or other underlying conditions.
-
Neurological Testing: Evaluates brain function, including reflexes, motor skills, and cognitive abilities.
Once a brain tumor is confirmed, these diagnostic tests help determine the stage of cancer and its spread.
Brain Tumor Surgery Treatment
The primary goal of brain tumor surgery is to remove or reduce the tumor's size to improve the patient's condition and allow for effective follow-up treatments such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Surgery also facilitates the administration of advanced intraoperative therapies, including hyperthermia or laser surgery, which may result in complete tumor removal.
-
1. Biopsy: A procedure to remove a small tissue sample for testing.
-
2. Craniotomy: A surgical procedure to remove part of the skull and access the brain for tumor removal.
-
3. VP Shunt Operation: Performed in specific cases when the patient is awake, typically to address fluid buildup.
-
3. Neuroendoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to remove or biopsy a tumor.
Success Rate of Brain Tumor Surgery
The success of brain tumor surgery depends on the type, stage, and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's age and overall health. Survival rates vary across age groups, with children typically having better outcomes:
-
Children under 14 years: 65% survival rate
-
Adults aged 15 to 45 years: 55% survival rate
-
Adults aged 45 to 64 years: 15% survival rate
