  • Brain Tumors
A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in your brain. Brain tumors can be cancerous (malignant) like glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, metastasis, etc. or non-cancerous (benign) like meningioma, schwannoma etc.  As these tumors grow, they increase the pressure inside the brain and may be life-threatening many times. 
Brain tumors can be categorized as the primary and secondary brain tumor-

A primary brain tumor originates in your brain. Many primary brain tumors are localized to the brain and rarely spreads to the other body organs.

A secondary brain tumor is also known as a metastatic brain tumor which occurs when cancer cells spread to your brain from cancer in the other organs such as the lungs and breast.

Brain Tumor Symptoms

Different parts of the brain control different functions so the brain tumor symptoms differ depending on the location of the tumor. The tumor’s size and how fast it is growing determines the symptoms one person is experiencing. Some general brain tumor symptoms that show the signs of brain tumor and might require the patient to undergo the brain tumor surgery may include-

If you have any of the above symptoms or diagnosed with a brain tumor, consult a Best Neurosurgeon in Dubai today.

Risk factors for the brain tumor 

Risk factors of the brain tumors are not well established but may include-
  • Family history or genetic condition
  • Age- the chances of suffering with brain tumor increases with age but some brain tumor occurs in children as well.
  • Chemical exposure 
  • Exposure to radiations- exposure to radiations leads to a small number of brain tumor cases although chances increase in the people who had undergone radiotherapy in their childhood.

How are brain tumors diagnosed? 

Your doctor may do some investigations after completing a thorough clinical exam by the surgeon of brain before the brain tumor surgery which may include-

  • CT scan of the head
  • MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) of the head
  • Angiography 
  • Skull X-rays

Treatment of the brain tumor  

The brain tumor surgery treatment depends on various brain tumor causes such as-  

  • The type of tumor
  • The size of the tumor
  • The location of the tumor
  • Your general health
While benign tumors like meningioma and schwannoma sometime can be treated without brain tumor surgery, invariably all the malignant brain tumors need brain tumor surgery at least to get the tumor tissue for accurate diagnosis. The aim is to remove as much cancer as possible without causing damage to the healthy parts of the brain. For malignant brain tumors other treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be required additionally.

If you have been diagnosed with a brain tumor and have been advised brain tumor removal surgery,  get a second opinion from a brain tumor surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Early warning signs include persistent or worsening headaches (especially in the morning), new-onset seizures, unexplained vision or speech changes, progressive weakness in limbs, memory problems, and personality changes. These symptoms do not always indicate a tumour, but warrant prompt evaluation with a neurologist or neurosurgeon.

Benign brain tumours are non-cancerous and grow slowly (e.g., meningiomas), while malignant tumours are cancerous and grow aggressively (e.g., glioblastoma). Benign tumours may be treated with surgery alone, while malignant tumours often require surgery combined with radiation and/or chemotherapy. Both types require specialist neurosurgical care.

Outcomes depend on tumour type, location, size, and the patient’s overall health. For benign tumours like meningiomas, surgical outcomes are generally very good with high rates of complete or near-complete removal. Dr. Rajeswaran uses intraoperative imaging and neuromonitoring to maximize safe resection and minimize neurological deficits.
