Brain Tumour
Brain tumours require fast diagnosis, careful staging, and coordinated neuro-oncology care.
Understanding Brain Tumour
Brain tumours can arise in the brain itself or spread from cancers elsewhere in the body. Symptoms depend on the size and location of the tumour.
At CI(WIA), treatment planning is multidisciplinary, combining imaging, pathology, surgery, radiation oncology, and systemic therapy where needed.
Care also focuses on preserving neurological function, mobility, speech, and quality of life throughout treatment.
Common Symptoms
- Persistent or worsening headaches
- Seizures or blackouts
- Vomiting unrelated to stomach illness
- Changes in vision, speech, or balance
- Weakness on one side of the body
- Personality or memory changes
Risk Factors
- Previous radiation exposure to the head
- Certain inherited syndromes
- History of other cancers
- Increasing age for some tumour types
- Occupational chemical exposure in selected cases
- Weakened immune status
