On the eve of the World Brain Tumor Day (June 8), doctors in Hyderabad sounded an alarm over growing cases of brain tumor and urged the public to recognize early symptoms and seek diagnosis and treatment.
According to the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) with more than 40,000 new cases in India, medical experts say that delayed detection affects the result.
Brain tumors that can be benign or malignant often begin with symptoms such as persistent headaches, seizures, memory loss, limb weakness or vision and speech disorders. Despite the slow onset, the condition can escalate quickly and turn into a life -threatening emergency, doctors say.
Strength 3 ‘campaign
Hospitals in care strengthen their commitment to a neurological reaction to emergency situations through their “Power 3” campaign, a pledge that ensures that emergency calls in three circles are answered, ambulances are sent within 30 minutes and patients receive immediate attention of the ER. “In neurological cases, such as brain tumors, it counts every minute. Our campaign is not only about consciousness, but about timely and professional care,” Dr. ARUN Reddy, Senior Neurosurgeon.
In their campaign, hospitals in the field of care focus on the literacy of symptoms and emphasize warning signals such as imbalances, seizures or sudden memory problems that must not be ignored.
20% increase
Doctors Olive Hospital claim to have seen a 20% increase in brain tumor consultations over the last year. “Brain tumors are deceptive. Symptoms may seem ordinary, like annoying headaches, but it could be signs of something much more serious. Early detection improves both survival and quality of life,” Mohammed Mahmood Ali, senior neurologist.
Breakthroughs in treatment
Parals, doctors are optimistic about breakthroughs in the treatment of brain tumor. “We are witnessing a revolution in the care of the brain tumor. Advanced neuro-navigation, intraoperative imaging, stereotactic radiosurgery and robotically assisted interventions are now standard procedures. Hospitals.
New strategies, such as immunotherapy, tumor fields (TTFIELDS) and even MRNA experimental vaccines, offer new hope. At the same time, artificial intelligence is being investigated that helps with early, non -invasive diagnostics and treatment planning, he added.
