Understanding Brain and Spinal Tumors
It’s important to know about brain and spinal tumors. This section talks about the main types and their symptoms. It shows why finding out early is key. Cohen’s Brain & Spinal Tumor Care
Types of Brain Tumors
There are many kinds of brain tumors. Gliomas and meningiomas are two common ones.
- Gliomas: These come from glial cells and can grow fast. Their symptoms depend on where they are and how fast they grow.
- Meningiomas: These start from the meninges and are usually not cancerous. But, they can cause big problems if they’re big or in a bad spot.
Types of Spinal Tumors
Spinal tumors are also different and can be serious. Here are some to know:
- Primary Spinal Tumors: These start in the spine, like chordomas and astrocytomas.
- Metastatic Spinal Tumors: These come from somewhere else in the body. They can be very painful and cause neurological symptoms.
Symptoms and Warning Signs
Spotting these early is key to getting help. Watch for these signs:
- Headaches: Headaches that keep coming back and get worse, with or without nausea or throwing up.
- Neurological Symptoms: Trouble with balance, seeing things wrong, speaking hard, or acting differently.
- Back Pain: Back pain that’s bad and doesn’t go away with rest might mean a spinal tumor.
- Neuromuscular Issues: Feeling weak, numb, or clumsy in your arms or legs.
Spotting these signs early can lead to better treatment. This helps people with gliomas, meningiomas, and metastatic spinal tumors do better.
The Latest Diagnostic Techniques
New technologies have changed how we diagnose brain and spinal tumors. These new methods give us a deeper understanding of conditions. This leads to better treatment plans.
Imaging Tests
Tests like MRI and CT scans are key in finding brain and spinal tumors. MRI shows detailed pictures of the brain. CT scans give full views of the body from different angles.
These tests help see the tumor’s size, where it is, and how it affects nearby tissues. This helps doctors plan treatments with great accuracy.
Biopsy Procedures
Biopsies are important for getting tissue samples. Doctors use surgery or needles to get these samples. Then, experts in neuropathology study the tissue.
This helps doctors know exactly what the tumor is like. Knowing this is key to making treatments that work best.
Genetic Testing
Genetic testing is a big help in finding out what tumors are like. By looking at genetic markers, doctors learn about the tumor’s biology. This info helps make treatments that are just right for each patient.
Advanced Treatment Options
Cohen’s Brain & Spinal Tumor Care offers many advanced treatments for different tumors. These treatments aim to be very effective and have few side effects. They focus on giving the best care to patients.
Radiation therapy is a key treatment for brain and spinal tumors. It uses high-energy particles or waves to kill tumor cells without harming healthy tissue. This method is often used with other treatments to work better together.
Chemotherapy uses strong drugs to kill cancer cells. It can be taken by mouth or through a vein. This is good for tumors that can’t be removed by surgery. It helps treat the cancer from inside the body.
Immunotherapy is a new way to fight cancer. It uses the body’s immune system to find and destroy cancer cells. This is a hope for cases where other treatments don’t work well.
New surgical innovations are leading in medical care. They include things like laser ablation and endoscopic procedures. These methods let doctors remove tumors carefully, with less recovery time and fewer problems.
We also focus on non-invasive procedures to keep patients safe and comfortable. Options like focused ultrasound and stereotactic radiosurgery can treat cancer without surgery. This means patients can recover faster and keep a good quality of life.
