World Brain Tumor Day

World Brain Tumor Day, every year on June 8th, raises concerns and informs people about brain tumors. Many people affected by brain tumors are also affected by the day.

Over 700,000 people in the United States live with brain tumors. In just one year, 84,000 people in the country will be diagnosed with a brain tumor in just one year. Brain tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Brain tumors are often referred to as brain cancer. This type of cancer falls into the same category as central nervous system cancers. Those are also classified as central nervous system cancers. In one year, 330,000 children and adults were diagnosed with cancer of the central nervous system worldwide. The death rate for brain cancer continues to rise along with the mortality rate.

Because of the high mortality rate of brain cancer, it is important to know the signs... As with most cancers, early detection is the most important. The earlier a brain tumor is found, the more effective it is to treat. Recurrent headaches, seizures, vision loss, memory loss, and paralysis of certain body regions are all typical signs associated with a brain tumor. Brain tumors are easily detected by certain diagnostic procedures, such as a CT scan or MRI, are often detected by doctors.

Grade categorization

Once a malignant brain tumor is identified, it is given a specific grade.. Here's a look at how these grades are classified: Here's a look at how these grades are categorized:

I: The least common form of tumor
II: Slow-growing tumors that can spread to nearby tissue
III. The cells are primarily reproducing abnormal cells, which grow into nearby brain tissue
IV: The most malignant form of brain tumor that is growing rapidly

Malignant brain tumor therapy often requires radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted drug therapy. It may also be possible to surgically remove the brain tumor or portions of it. Sometimes a surgeon must remove even benign brain tumors if it is impairing the brain's function.
