Neuro-Oncology

Neuro-oncology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of tumors affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Tumors can be primary (originating in the nervous system, e.g., gliomas, meningiomas) or secondary (metastatic, spreading from other organs like the lung or breast).

Common Symptoms

  • Headaches, seizures, cognitive changes, vision problems, and nausea.
  • Symptoms vary based on tumor size, location, and type.

Diagnosis

  • Imaging (MRI, CT scans), neurological exams, biopsies, and lumbar punctures are used to identify and classify tumors.

Treatment

  1. Surgery: To remove tumors safely.
  2. Radiation Therapy: Kills residual tumor cells.
  3. Chemotherapy: Stops cancer growth (e.g., temozolomide for glioblastoma).
  4. Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy: Advances in personalized medicine.
  5. Palliative Care: Manages symptoms and improves quality of life.
