Brain cancer affects men more
Cancer can develop in the brain as in all organs in the body. Making a statement within the scope of Brain Cancer Awareness month, Brain and Nerve Surgery Specialist Selçuk Göçmen stated that there are many types of brain tümörü types in the world and these tümörs are classified as benign or malignant.
Selçuk Göçmen stated that familial factors (genetics), radiation, animal viruses, occupational groups exposed to chemicals such as phenol and benzene, and smoking increase the risk of brain tümörü.
Brain tümörs are reported to occur between 5–10 per 100,000 people annually in European countries, while this rate is around 1–2 per 100,000 people in Far Eastern countries. It is stated that brain tümörs, which are more common in men than women, include headache, vomiting, nausea, visual impairment, cognitive impairment, nö betting, weakness in arms and legs, irritability, appetite, nervousness, irritability, and weakness;It was emphasized that a doctor should be consulted if one or more of the complaints such as anxiety, irritability, loss of appetite, decreased attention, forgetfulness, speech and comprehension difficulties, inability to write, imbalance and shrinkage in the hands and feet.
Benign tümörs can also be life threatening at times
Stating that benign brain tümörs can also pose a risk to life in some cases, Selçuk Göçmen said that these tümörs can be adherent to moist brain vessels and nerve structures in the çThese tumors may be adherent to important cerebral vessels and nerve structures in the brain, so it may not always be possible to completely remove them surgically. Stating that some benign tümörs can rarely be converted into benign tümörs, Göçmen, çHe stated that tümörs that do not spread to stage tissues and have clear borders have a higher chance of being completely removed by surgery.
Treatment of benign brain tumors: surgery, radiation and medication
Stating that the majority of brain cancers consist of glial tümümürs, Selçuk Göçmen said that these cells can damage healthy tissues in the environment by growing uncontrollably. In rare cases, they can spread to the spinal cord or other organs of the body, he said.
Stating that life expectancy can vary depending on the pathological structure of the tümörür, the treatments applied and the age of the patient, GöçmenGöçmen stated that some malignant brain tumors can be formed by extrusion from other organs. It was stated that such metastatic tümörs can most commonly originate from lung, breast, colon, stomach, skin and prostate. It was stated that the treatment options include surgical intervention, biopsy, radiation therapy and medication.
In neurosurgery, tümör can now be removed with minimal errors
Thanks to the advancing technology in brain tümörü surgery, it is now possible to minimize damage to the tümörürü by using special görüntüng systems and operating microscopes;It was stated that with small skin incisions, the tümörü can be removed with the least damage and at the highest possible rate. Selçuk Göçmen stated that thanks to hybrid operating rooms, difficult and complex surgeries have become more secure.
It was reported that these developments provide significant advantages for the patient, such as less surgical trauma, shorter operation time, less blood loss, fewer complications, shorter hospitalization and faster recovery.
