Brain Cancer
Happens cancer in general as a result of abnormal growth of cells, causes tumor formation. And brain cancer is divided into two main types, namely primary brain cancer and secondary brain cancer, or trickle-down. The former occurs due to the growth of brain cells, including the membranes of the brain and its blood vessels, and the formation of a cancerous tumor. The secondary, occurs as a result of the growth of a tumor in another member and the arrival of the cancerous cells to the brain via the bloodstream.
It is noteworthy that there are malignant tumors and other benign. The difference between them is that malignant tumors grow and spread and fiercely aggressive and dominate the healthy cells through the seizure of its place and its blood supply and foodstuffs.
The benign tumors, they do not grow furiously nor aggressive. The distinctive difference between benign tumors and malignant tumors is that benign tumors do not spread to other organs of the body, as it does not invade the brain cells do not grow quickly. It is noteworthy that the rapid growth of malignant tumors and damage to brain cells quickly.
Although benign tumors that are less serious, and largely, of malignant tumors, but it is causing some problems stroke. But these problems are exacerbated slowly compared to what is typical for malignant tumors. But, in general, the tumor was benign or malignant, causing a problem in the brain. The brain area closed, and increase the occurrence of cells inside causing pressure inside the skull or distortion of vital structures surrounding the tumor, which affects its ability to perform its functions.
Of the leading causes of brain cancer:
As with other cancers, the exact cause of most cancers of the brain is not known, but it is proposed that the following factors be able to increase the likelihood of primary brain cancers:
● exposing the head of radiation.
● factor gene.
● HIV infection.
● smoking.
● exposure to environmental toxins, such as chemicals used in the petroleum refining and chemical embalming and chemicals used in the manufacture of leather.
Common signs and symptoms of brain cancer:
It must be noted first that there are forms of brain cancer does not cause any symptoms or signs, including cancer of the pituitary gland, which is usually not discovered until after the death of the patient for another reason.
It is worth mentioning that the signs and symptoms of brain cancer are multiple but not limited to this disease. That is, they may infect patients with other cases as well. But to make sure it actually caused by the cancer mentioned, the patient must be subjected to the necessary tests, including testing neurological and other tests that include images of class and MRIs, as well as taking a sample of the tumor.
And include more signs and symptoms of this common cancer include:
Headache, which is usually at its worst in the morning and not be afraid intensity thereafter.
Feeling weak.
Difficulty walking and balance.
Uprisings and muscle vibrations.
Alkhaddran twitching in the legs and arms.
Epileptic seizures.
Decline in concentration, memory and attention.
Change intellectual abilities and feelings.
Nausea and vomiting, especially early in the morning.
Visual changes, including double vision, loss of peripheral vision.
Changes in hearing ability.
Slurred speech.
It is noteworthy that these symptoms afflict most patients gradually and very slow, which may lead to not notice the patient himself and his family only after her for a long time. In a few cases, they appear rapidly. It is noteworthy that some patients appear to have more obvious symptoms based on the location of the tumor. For example, if the tumor lies mainly in the frontal lobe of the brain, that leads to behavioral problems in particular. But if he was in the temporal lobe, the memory will be affected in particular.
The treatment of cancer of the brain:
A regimen of brain cancer individualism, ie it varies from person to person individually based on many factors, including the age of the patient and his general health, as well as tumor size, location and type, degree.
In most cases, this cancer treated with surgery and radiation and chemical medicines. Often conducted using more of a therapeutic technique together.
In general it can be said that there is no particular method or medication that protects against cancer, but early treatment of cancers that spread to the brain reduces the likelihood of infection. And also to avoid, or minimize, exposing the head of the rays and exposure to chemicals that may cause cancer, all of which fall within the methods of prevention.
