Which surgery should we go for Grade 2 Brain Tumor, Radiosurgery or Craniotomy?

Patient's Query

Which surgery is better for grade 2 brain tumor? Should the patient opt for Radiosurgery or Craniotomy?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Generally there are 4 types of Resection to remove a tumor: 

  1. Gross total: The entire tumor is removed. However, sometimes microscopic cells may remain.
  2. Subtotal: A large portion of the tumor is removed.
  3. Partial: Only part of the tumor is removed.
  4. Biopsy only: Only a small portion is removed, which is used for a biopsy.

 

The treatment or surgery depends on several factors like type of cancer, the stage of cancer, location, age of patient, general health, associated comorbidities and others. Consult an oncologist, who on evaluation of the patient will guide you to choose the best treatment suitable for the patient.

Female | 48

You seem to feel weakened as your legs are not strong. Feeling sleepy most of the time and neck pain might be due to the problem in your neck bones. Not being hungry is also one of the consequences of the issue. Get some sleep and perform the exercises gently so as to reduce neck problems. The best way to maintain your energy levels is through eating small, healthy meals.

I am 16 years old male and I have headache in one side of head till 3 days and I have used saridon to recover this .

Male | 16

You have had a headache on one side of your head for about 3 days. That may be a migraine. Migraines are sharp pains in the head that happen on one side of the head after nausea or sensitivity to light. Saridon might alleviate the pain for a while, however, it is essential to find out about the causes of your migraines.  Notice any symptoms you have and whatever triggers lead up to your headaches. Avoiding heiks like stress, lack of sleep, favorite foods, or loud noises may help you stop migraines. Should headaches continue or deteriorate, a doctor is the right person to consult.

Ive been facing tingling in hands and feet also having digestive issues since 1 week, had mild headache also. And now when I fall asleep, my whole body keeps shaking, gets normal, when I move little. Yesterday got my blood reports. I have 197 VIT B12 on ref level of 211-950(acc to lab). Therfore a deficiency. Also vast deficiency in VIT D. Is it all happening because of these deficiencies? Or any other reason?

Female | 19

Your symptoms sugge­st vitamin deficiencies. Lacking vitamin B12 cause­s tingling hands/feet, digestive­ issues, and headaches. De­ficient vitamin D prompts shaky sleep se­nsations. These deficie­ncies likely cause your symptoms. To fix this, e­at vitamin B12 and D-rich foods. Your doctor may also suggest supplements to re­store levels.
