Tumors are made by cancer cells, and depending on the type of tumor, they can grow slowly or quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This blog will provide an overview of brain cancer and the signs, symptoms, and treatment options associated with the disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a Brain Tumor?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All brain cancers are tumors, but not all brain tumors are cancerous. Noncancerous brain tumors are called benign brain tumors. Brain tumors are named based on their location in the brain or upper spine. Tumors are also given a grade where the grade of a tumor shows how quickly it is likely to grow. The grades range from 1 to 4, with 1 being the slowest and 4 being the fastest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most benign brain tumors grow slowly, have precise edges, and don&#8217;t spread. Even benign tumors can be harmful as they can hurt and squeeze parts of the brain, which can lead to severe problems. If a benign brain tumor grows in an important part of the brain, it can be fatal. A benign tumor rarely turns into a cancerous one. Meningioma, vestibular schwannoma, and pituitary adenoma are all examples of tumors that are benign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malignant brain tumors are cancerous. Most of the time, they grow quickly and take over healthy brain structures nearby. Brain cancer can be life-threatening because it changes the brain&#8217;s most important parts, and malignant tumors can start in or near the brain. Some examples are medulloblastoma, chondrosarcoma, and olfactory neuroblastoma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are There Different Types of Brain Tumors?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a variety of tumors that may affect the brain.

Some of the most common forms of treatment for brain tumors include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted drug therapy. Get started with an <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinaona.com\/staging\/mri-services\/\">MRI scan<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Surgery &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some brain tumors are small and easy to separate from the brain tissue around them. This makes it possible to remove them as a whole with surgery. Other brain tumors can&#8217;t be separated from the tissue around them, or they are near sensitive parts of the brain, which makes surgery risky. In these cases, your doctor will take out as much of the tumor as possible without creating further damage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Radiation therapy &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radiation therapy kills tumor cells by using high-energy beams, like X-rays or protons. Radiation therapy can come from a machine outside your body, known as external beam radiation, or, very rarely, radiation can be put inside your body near your brain tumor, called brachytherapy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Chemotherapy &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drugs are used in chemotherapy to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs can be taken by mouth as pills or injected into a vein. Most of the time, temozolomide is the chemotherapy drug used to treat brain tumors. Depending on the type of cancer, other chemo drugs may also be suggested<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Targeted drug therapy &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Targeted drug treatments are based on abnormalities cancer cells may have. By blocking these abnormalities, targeted drug treatments can kill cancer cells<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Rehab Like after Brain Tumor Treatment?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because brain tumors can grow in parts of the brain that control motor skills, speech, vision, and thinking, rehabilitation may be a necessary part of recovery, however, not all treatments will require a rehabilitation period. Depending on what you need, your doctor may suggest that you:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical therapy can help you regain motor skills or muscle strength that you have lost<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Occupational therapy can help you get back to your normal daily activities, including work, after a brain tumor or other illness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have trouble speaking, you can get help from speech pathologists who are experts in speech problems<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tutoring for school-aged kids to help them deal with changes in their memory and thinking after a brain tumor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concerned about some of the symptoms you are experiencing?
