is formed owing to the
accumulation of abnormal cells.
Owing to the presence of such
abnormal cells, the normal cells
cannot get created thereby
disrupting the entire cycle. Brain
tumor can be of two kinds,

containing cancerous cells, or
benign which means not
containing any cancerous cells.

Brain Tumor Treatment
There are more than one ways of treating brain tumor. However, depending
upon the kind of cells which have been diagnosed, along with the stage at
which the tumor has been detected, doctors can suggest different treatment
options to the patient.
However, by far, surgery is the most common method which is used by the
doctors. In this method, the surgeon removes the entire tumor tissue from
the brain of the patient. But in certain exceptional cases, the tumor is
located at such a sensitive place that it is not safe to remove it with the help
of surgery. In such cases, the best neurologists in India suggest taking
help of radiation or chemotherapy as a remedy for killing the cancerous
cells and reducing the size of the tumor.
Chemotherapy or radiation contains the use of high UV rays for destroying
the dangerous cancerous cells. Owing to such powerful radiations, the
neighboring healthy or normal cells also can get damaged. As a result of
this, it is necessary that you consult your doctor and go for a second opinion
before you actually proceed for the treatment.
 Life After Brain Cancer
The treatment for brain tumor is a systematic one.
Hence, once you go for the treatment, which can
either be a surgery or chemotherapy, the next step
in this would be the stage of rehabilitation. At this
stage, the patient is usually treated by different
therapists, including physical therapists who will
help the patient to regain his balance as well as
lost strength; occupational therapist to help the
patient do all the normal chores like brushing,
bathing, dressing etc all by himself as well as
speech therapist to help him overcome his vocal
abilities.
