Despite popular belief, there is no one form of brain tumor, and not all brain tumors are
cancerous. Cancerous tumors are malignant in nature. They grow rapidly and aggressively, and can
also spread to other parts of the body. On the other hand, tumors that do not invade other
healthy tissues of the body are called benign tumors. Benign tumors do not present the same
risks as malignant tumors, but they can still impair the brain's normal functioning.
In itself, our brain houses different kinds of cells, making up different tissues. In terms of
primary brain cancers, one type of cell deviates from its normal functioning and transforms
itself to reproduce rapidly. This rapid growth leads to formation of a tumor.
Such tumors, which originate in the brain are called primary brain tumors. Whereas, metastatic
brain tumors are caused due to a process called metastasis, in which cancer cells travel to the
brain through blood vessels or lymph vessels from other parts of the body that are infected with
cancer.
Being diagnosed with a brain tumor is stressful to say the least. It leads to emotional and
physical implications that can affect a person’s personal life. Many people find it difficult to
even discuss the diagnosis with their family and friends, but one should always realise that an
honest and open conversation, and expressing feelings and concerns, is an essential step towards
getting the right help.
At Cancer Healer Center we provide our patients with support at each and every step of the way.
Our health care team has years of experience and specialises in providing care for the patient,
and their families. With quality treatment and palliative care, we ensure that our patients are
comfortable and can enjoy a pain free life.
Brain tumor can potentially lead to a number of medical complications, which makes it
very hard to treat effectively. These complications can be mild, or in some instances,
life altering. Thus treating such tumors requires specialized tools and procedures.
Our body spends the most amount of energy in maintaining its temperature, and fighting
off diseases. Same is also true in the case of a brain tumor. Our body constantly fights
off cancer cells and that in turn may make the cancer patient feel lethargic.
Almost 50% of the people who are diagnosed with a brain tumor complain about chronic
headaches. This is because the tumor grows out of proportions, and puts pressure on the
nearby nerves and blood vessels.
There are many factors which can single handedly, or collectively, lead to abnormalities
in cellular functions of the body. These factors can also lead to the formation of
cancerous tumors. Some of the factors that can lead to formation of brain tumor are:
A timely diagnosis can significantly improve the chances of treating brain tumors, which
in turn increases the patient' chances of survival. An early diagnosis gives the doctor
enough time to properly treat the patient, and it also facilitates ample time for the
patient to recover from the treatment.
After the physical examination (checking the breast, stomach, skin, etc.), which is used
to find if the cancer has spread from other parts of the brain, following tests can be
done to check the presence, and progression of cancer cells in the body:-
Stages of brain cancer are set according to the pathological features of the cancer cells in the patient’s body. The World Health Organisation has developed a grading system which is used for grading the progression of brain cancer in a patient's body, and instead of stages it uses grades to signify the progression.
Immune system is the first line of defence when it comes to fighting illnesses. It
comprises of white blood cells, organs and numerous tissues of the lymphatic system. At
Cancer Healer Center we specialise in treating all forms of cancer, including brain
cancer, with our unique and proven take on Immunotherapy, called Cancer Healer
Therapy.
Immunotherapy has redefined how cancer is treated throughout the world. Its main
focus is towards conditioning the patient’s immune system in a way that can get rid of
cancer on it’s own. It may also help patients to stay cancer free after going into
remission, by stopping any new cancer growth before it is developed into tumors.
Treatment for brain tumors ultimately depends on its type, its grade, size and
location in the brain. Conventionally, the brain tumours are treated through options
like surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
At Cancer Healer Center, we provide medications which are safe to take, and do not cause
any undue side effects. After a thorough medical analysis our cancer experts will lay

After undergoing the treatment for brain tumor, the patient may enter a state of remission,
which means that the tumor can no longer be detected via diagnostic scans. Remission can be
temporary or permanent.
There is a chance that the cancer may come back after the initial treatment. This is because
cancerous cells infiltrate nearby healthy cells, making it much more difficult to get rid of
them completely. In case the tumor returns after the success of initial treatment, it is called
recurrent tumor.
Generally, recurrent tumors come back to the place of origin, but in some rare instances they
are detected in other places and are treated accordingly.
