Brain Tumour Treatment by Dr. Chetna Patil
A brain tumour is one of the most complex and challenging conditions affecting the nervous system. It occurs when abnormal cells grow within the brain, either as a primary tumour (originating in the brain) or a secondary tumour (spread from another part of the body). Tumours may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), but both can put pressure on the brain and interfere with its vital functions.
Common Symptoms of Brain Tumour
The symptoms depend on the tumour’s size, type, and location, but common warning signs include:
- Persistent or severe headaches
- Unexplained nausea and vomiting
- Sudden vision or hearing disturbances
- Weakness or numbness in limbs
- Difficulty with speech, balance, or coordination
- Seizures
- Memory problems or personality changes
Early recognition of these symptoms and prompt neurological evaluation is essential for timely treatment.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Dr. Chetna Patil emphasizes comprehensive neurological assessment to identify the type and stage of the tumour. This includes:
- Neurological examination to assess reflexes, strength, coordination, and cognitive functions.
- MRI / CT scans to provide detailed brain imaging.
- MRS, PET scans, or angiography when required for advanced evaluation.
- Biopsy or histopathological tests for confirmation of tumour type.
Accurate diagnosis forms the foundation of a precise and effective treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination depending on the type and stage.
Not always. Surgery is considered if the tumour is operable and safe to remove; otherwise, other therapies are used.
Some benign tumours can be cured with surgery, while malignant tumours may require ongoing treatment to control growth.
It varies—surgery is immediate, while radiation or chemotherapy may continue for weeks to months.
Recovery depends on tumour type, size, location, patient’s health, and response to treatment.
