You've faced major challenges. A glioblastoma, a grade IV brain tumor, causes jerky movements, weakness, and walking difficulty. Sometimes they grow rapidly, making early detection tricky. Surgery aims to remove most of the tumor. Then radiation and chemotherapy followed. Discuss treatment options thoroughly with your neurologist. Stay resilient during this difficult time.

dear doctor my mother has an inoperable grade 4 glioblastoma diagnosed in february 2024. Her tumor measures 7.4x4.6x3.4 cm. she is undergoing radiotherapy and is taking chemotherapy tablets called themodal could you please give your specialist opinion?
Female | 52
Glioblastoma is an aggressive form of brain cancer, which is not feasible for us to deal with. The disease may result in symptoms viz. severe headaches, nausea, and changes in the body's functioning. Conventional methods in the stream of treatment rather than the mainstay are therapies using radiation and chemotherapy drugs of oral forms like tablets for chemotherapy. Both approaches of treatment are prevalent to slow down the growth of the cancer and manage symptoms. Keeping the neurosurgeons instructions in mind and monitoring her condition at regular intervals is the only way to achieve a favorable outcome.

Male | 12
SurGERY is not always neceSSARY for BRAIN TB treatMENT.. It depends on the severity, location, and response to medication.. DOCTORS may recommend surGERY to drain fluid buildup, remove a damaged portion, or relieve pressure.. However, medication is the first line of defense and often effective.. SURGERY carries risks and should be done only when required.. Always follow the doctor's adVICE and take medication as preSCRIBED..

Hi . We have a 19 year old girl diagnosed with Nf1 and retroperitoneal huge mass Do you have any cures for this Is there any way to get well completely if not please give us any suggestions to live longer or stop the spread Can we do radiotherapy or chemotherapy or surgery to get out some parts or is there any effective drug ?
Female | 19
NF1 may bring about tumor formation in one's body, just like the one that grew in the abdomen. Regrettably, there is no cure for NF1 at the moment. Treatment options may include the surgery of the mass, chemotherapy, or other medication to relieve symptoms and slow down the formation of the tumor. It is necessary to consult with an oncologist regarding all the alternatives to find the most suitable option for the patient.

How accurate is carotid ultrasound? Says: moderate to severe increase at the level of the Bilateral CCA and ECA and the level of ICA artery. What does this mean? Dr said to do MRA to confirm
Female | 45
If in a carotid ultrasound, there is a significant increase in certain arteries, it could mean a blockage and crippling at that location. These blockages have consequences, including slow blood flow to the brain and, as a result, dizziness, fainting, or even stroke. The patient is to undergo an MRI and more precise information about the diseases will be obtained by this technology. Through MRA, the doctor can determine what to do next and suggest medications, lifestyle modifications, or surgery to loosen the veins and make them as healthy as possible. It's important not to do anything reckless but to listen to every word of advice that your cardiologist gives you and follow it to the letter so that you don't have compromised health matters.
