Diagnosing Cancer of Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors
Primary Brain and Spinal Cord cancers are cancers that originate in the Central
Nervous System (CNS) - inside the skull or in the spinal column. Diseases such
as tuberous sclerosis can give rise to these sorts of cancers. Surprisingly most
CNS cancers arise from the cells that support the neurons (brain cells). These
cancers usually grow slowly.
Diagnosis/Symptoms: There are numerous possible symptoms of brain cancer such as
headaches, nausea, vision or hearing problems, behavioural and cognitive
problems, motor problems, and balance problems. Spinal cord tumors often have
pain and/or motor problems.
Treatment: Like most other cancers the treatment for Brain and Spinal Cord
tumors can be Radiation, chemotherapy or surgery or a possible combination.
There are also some other treatments such as gene therapy - that make tumor
cells more sensitive to therapy..
