How do Indian surgeons remove a brain tumor?

If the brain tumor is determined to be operable and the patient is healthy the first choice for treatment is usually surgery. The type of surgery used is determined by the type of tumor, its location, its size, and growth rate and the health and medical history of the patient. There are several types of surgical options to remove a brain tumor including:

Craniotomy
Microsurgery
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
CyberKnife Radiosurgery

A craniotomy is the most common form of surgery to remove a brain tumor.

Are the Indian brain tumor surgeons/neurosurgeons qualified enough to treat a brain tumor?

While the reduced cost of treatment in India, approximately one-tenth the cost of other countries, is an important factor in many patients’ decision to travel there for treatment, the best reason to choose India is the quality of its doctors. India boasts some of the finest neurosurgeons, neurologists, and oncologists in the world. Not only are they up to date with the latest research, treatments and surgical procedures many of them are performing the research themselves. India is at the vanguard of research and development in the area of brain tumors both malignant and benign and has one of the highest success rates of any country.

How do brain tumors develop?

It is not fully understood how or why brain tumors develop. A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain. As the cells multiply, the tumor grows and sometimes spread to other tissues. Research has shown that age, environmental factors and genetics can all play a part in the development of brain tumors, but research continues in an attempt to fully understand these connections.

How fast do brain tumors grow?

The rate at which a brain tumor will develop and grow depends on the type of brain tumor, whether it is cancerous or non-cancerous and on other contributing factors such as the age and health of the patient. Regardless of the type of tumor, early diagnosis and treatment is the most important step in a full recovery.

Is brain cancer painful?

Brain tumors, both malignant and benign, can cause various levels of discomfort and pain based on their size and location. Small tumors may exist for some time without any symptoms manifesting. One of the first signs of a brain tumor is often a headache that lasts longer than is typical and doesn’t respond to standard headache treatments. Depending on the size and location of the tumor other types of discomfort may manifest throughout the body such as pins and needles sensations. Other symptoms that may occur are:

Impaired vision
Seizures
Personality changes
Memory loss
Loss of coordination
Difficulty speaking
Difficulty comprehending

Are brain tumors common?

The frequency in the occurrence of brain tumors depends greatly on the type of brain tumor. Primary brain tumors, those that begin in the brain, are most common in children and older adults while metastatic brain tumors, those that spread from cancer in other parts of the body to the brain, are seen more often in adults than in children. It is estimated that approximately 80,000 new cases of primary brain tumors will be diagnosed in 2018 with about one-third of them being malignant (cancerous).

What makes a brain tumor inoperable?

Regardless of the type of tumor and whether or not it is cancerous, some are operable, and some are not. A tumor is considered inoperable when it is located in an area of the brain that cannot be reached with existing surgical techniques or when the risk of damaging vital regions of the brain is too high.
