World Brain Tumour Day 2023

Timely treatment can eliminate brain tumor…

On 8 June, World Brain Tumour Day is Celebrated every year.

On this day several activities are conducted across the globe to raise awareness about brain tumour and the importance of early detection and timely treatment.

The theme for World Brain Tumour Day this year is "Protect yourself- keep away from stress."

A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain. Brain tumours can be both cancerous and non-cancerous.

If it is not treated on time, it can cause brain damage and can be life-threatening. Early detection followed by timely treatment plays a major role in saving lives.

Brain tumours can have symptoms, including headaches, seizures, cognitive changes, balance problems, and sensory disturbances.

 Prompt treatment can remove these symptoms and improve the patient's life quality.

Surgery for the removal of tumours, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are among the potential treatments for this.

The type of treatment depends on factors such as tumour type, location, size, and the patient's overall health.

Regular check-ups and medical screenings can also aid in the early detection of brain tumours, especially in individuals with specific risk factors or genetic predispositions.
