Brain Tumor and Symptoms
A tumor is an alteration in any type of tissue, which results in increased volume in a particular body part. The brain tumor , meanwhile, is an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells derived from brain components (known as primary tumors) or tumor cells located in other areas of the body (called metastasis).
It is a disease of great concern because the tumors in question may be malignant. However, it is noteworthy that in many cases it is of benign tumors , which can be removed by surgery. The classification of tumors depend mostly on how quickly they develop or are prone to heal themselves (resectable) or corresponding neoquirúrgico treatment. Besides this, it is essential to note that the severity of this problem is not so easy to distinguish between malignant and benign one because, for example, sometimes benign tumors can behave in ways that seem to are malignant.
Also do not forget that often a successful treatment of this type associated with brain tumors is linked to the speed with which it is detected. This is why it is essential information about the symptoms of a brain tumor, to be vigilant and go as fast as possible to a doctor.
If it is assumed that it is a brain tumor of some kind, the specialists will turn immediately to conduct imaging tests (such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) that allow to tell if a tumor. In addition, enable knowledge of the size and location of it. To determine the nature of the tumor, a biopsy should be performed to the patient.
Symptoms
Before listing the symptoms, it is important to note that these occur when brain tissue is destroyed, or when the pressure in the brain (note that this situation occurs with both benign and malignant).
In general, symptoms begin to develop with some alterations in mental functions, such as slowing, apathy, headache, vomiting, nausea, unsteadiness, frequent seizures and even papilledema (swelling of the ocular nerve due to pressure of the brain ). Note that these are the most common symptoms, but other more serious that occur as the tumor grows and vary according to location of it. However, here are the most common symptoms:
- Paresis (transient or incomplete paralysis)
- Partial motor seizures
- Aphasia (difficulty speaking)
- Apraxia (trouble doing certain movements)
- Agnosia (a situation in which the patient can perceive objects, but have difficulty relating to the function or role played)
- Visual field defects of vision (also called false symptoms of location, are produced by intracranial hypertension or the development of cerebral herniation syndrome)
Types of Brain Tumors
We must not ignore the fact that there are many kinds of brain tumors, which are defined mostly by its location within the body. It is possible to distinguish between twelve different tumors, which are primary intracranial tumors, astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme, ependymoma, meningiona, primary brain lymphoma, medulloblastoma, hemangioblastoma (cerebellum), papilloma of the fourth ventricle, pinealoma, pituitary adenomas and tumors of the foramen magnum.
Treatment of Stomach Cancer
The only curative treatment for stomach cancer is surgery, which will seek to remove the tumor with margins that may allow healing. Is usually necessary to remove the entire stomach and surrounding lymph nodes. Then he joins the small intestine to the esophagus or stomach with the rest (if it was possible to leave something) to allow feeding the patient through the mouth. To accomplish this it is essential that the cancer is discovered as soon as possible, so that the chances of cure are greater. Read the rest of this entry »
