Understanding Brain Cancer:
Brain cancer, also known as brain tumor, refers to abnormal growths of cells within the brain or the surrounding tissues. These tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), with malignant tumors posing a greater risk to health and requiring prompt intervention. Brain cancer can originate within the brain itself (primary brain cancer) or spread from cancer elsewhere in the body (metastatic brain cancer). Common types of primary brain cancer include gliomas, meningiomas, and pituitary tumors, among others.
Symptoms of brain cancer may vary depending on the location, size, and type of tumor but may include:
- Headaches
- Seizures
- Nausea and vomiting
- Changes in vision or hearing
- Weakness or numbness in limbs
- Cognitive changes or memory problems
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for optimizing outcomes and improving quality of life for patients with brain cancer. Diagnostic tests may include imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans, neurological examinations, and biopsy to determine the type and extent of the tumor.
Innovative Brain Cancer Treatments at Zion Medic:
Zion Medic offers a multidisciplinary approach to brain cancer treatment, integrating state-of-the-art technologies and expertise across various specialties to provide comprehensive care to our patients. Our advanced brain cancer treatments include:
- Surgical Resection: Surgical removal of the brain tumor is often the primary treatment for accessible tumors, aiming to remove as much of the tumor as possible while preserving neurological function. Our team of skilled neurosurgeons utilizes minimally invasive techniques and advanced intraoperative imaging to precisely target and resect tumors with minimal damage to surrounding healthy brain tissue.
- Radiation Therapy: Zion Medic offers advanced radiation therapy modalities for the treatment of brain cancer, including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). These targeted radiation techniques deliver high doses of radiation to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, maximizing tumor control, and reducing side effects.
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy may be used alone or in combination with surgery and radiation therapy to treat certain types of brain cancer. Our medical oncologists prescribe individualized chemotherapy regimens tailored to each patient’s tumor type, stage, and overall health, with the goal of slowing tumor growth, relieving symptoms, and improving quality of life.
- Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapies are a promising treatment approach for certain types of brain cancer, particularly those with specific genetic mutations or molecular alterations. These therapies target the underlying mechanisms driving tumor growth and progression, offering the potential for more effective and personalized treatment options.
- Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy is an emerging treatment modality for brain cancer that harnesses the power of the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Our team of immunotherapy specialists utilizes innovative immunotherapeutic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors to stimulate anti-tumor immune responses and enhance treatment outcomes for patients with advanced or recurrent brain cancer.
