A brain tumour can be defined as cells in the brain becoming abnormal and growing uncontrollably.
Tumours can be benign (non-cancer-causing) or malignant (cancer-causing). Since they are in the brain, even a benign tumour can be dangerous. The brain is surrounded by the skull. This means that the tumour begins to put pressure on normal brain tissues as it grows. This can also cause inflammation and brain swelling. Therefore, it is very important to treat both types of tumours as quickly as possible.
Brain tumours appear with the following symptoms:
Although factors such as trauma, virus and familial predisposition are thought to have effects, the origin of these tumours is still unknown.
In the brain tumour, it is primarily aimed to remove the tumour by surgical method. In surgical operations, the type, location, age of the patient and other general physical condition of the tumour plays a decisive role. Surgical interventions of brain tumours are supported by chemotherapy and/or auxiliary treatments such as radiotherapy and/or immunotherapy.
