Understanding
Brain Tumours
The incidence of brain tumours is approximately 3–4 per 100,000 (one lakh) population per year. Specialized care focused on preserving neurological function and quality of life.
Clinical Overview
Brain tumours are broadly classified into:
1. Primary Brain Tumours: These arise from the brain tissue itself or its coverings. They are graded from Grade I to Grade IV based on aggressiveness and likelihood of recurrence.
2. Secondary Brain Tumours (Metastatic): These originate from cancers elsewhere in the body and spread to the brain. Most common primary sources: Lung cancer and Breast cancer.
Nature of Brain Tumours: Not all brain tumours are malignant. Some are benign and potentially curable, especially WHO Grade I tumours (e.g., meningioma). Higher grades are more aggressive and have a poorer prognosis.
