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 ch...

Proton Therapy Treatment Proton Therapy helps us in treating a wide range of cancer easily & this therapy is also very cost effective as compared to surgical treatment.

This is why proton therapy, with revolutionary delivery modes like Pencil Beam Scanning, is the clear leader to treat CNS cancers. Proton therapy has globally proven to Reduce the dose of radiation by 60% to surrounding structures such as the hippocampus, cochlea, and pituitary. Reduce the incidence of second cancers by 50%. 2. Skull Base Tumors: Proton therapy is an ideal modality for treating skull base and cervical spine tumors such as chordoma and chondrosar...
