Procedure For CNS Treatment

Central Nervous System Cancer

 The following procedure takes place for the treatment of Brain Tumor:

 1. Neuro Surgery:
Neurosurgery is a highly specialized niche that plays an integral role in the treatment of brain tumors. The brain is a complex and delicate organ in the human body; planning brain surgery demands that we address the challenge of quality of life post the procedure. Maximum Safe Debulking is a process that refers to the maximum size of the abnormal tissue that can be surgically removed without compromising critical brain functions. Often neurosurgery is used as the first line of defense to reduce the size of the tumor to manageable sizes; post this, other forms of treatments are used to eradicate it.

2. Radiation Oncology:
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy x-rays or other particles to destroy tumor cells. Doctors use radiation therapy to cover microscopic subclinical disease after maximum safe debulking. It is also used in combination with chemotherapy in some types of tumors which respond better to a combined approach improving treatment outcomes. The duration of treatment can range from a single day treatment up to 6-7 weeks of daily irradiation. In each clinical scenario, the technique, dose, expected outcomes, and related toxicities vary depending upon the diagnosis and treatment site.

For patients with skull base tumors that are responsive to irradiation, our radiation oncologists prepare three-dimensional treatment plans for the precise delivery of radiation therapy. New radiation therapy techniques and remarkable skill allow APCC doctors to target skull base tumors more precisely, delivering the maximum amount of radiation with the least damage to healthy cells.

 3. Chemotherapy:
In the case of brain tumors, chemotherapy is typically given after surgery and possibly with or after radiation therapy. The chemotherapy regimen usually consists of a specific number of cycles given over a set period. A patient may receive one drug at a time or combinations of different drugs given at the same time.

4. Rehabilitation Services:
Brain and other central nervous system tumors have a very high likelihood of producing long-term disabling effects owing to the tumor itself and the effects of treatment.

Even benign or low-grade brain tumors can cause significant disability. It is seen that the effects vary with the type of tumor and the age of the patient, so the rehabilitation process is necessary for the patients to cure cancer completely.
