  • A brain tumor diagnosis can be overwhelming for patients and families. Brain tumors occur when brain cells grow abnormally and uncontrollably. These tumors may be benign or malignant, but all brain tumors can affect normal brain function, impacting physical, cognitive, and emotional health.

    At MGM Healthcare, we support brain tumor patients at every stage from early diagnosis to advanced treatment and long-term recovery through a multidisciplinary neuro-oncology approach.

What Are the Common Symptoms of a Brain Tumor?

  • Brain tumor symptoms vary based on the tumor’s size, location, and growth rate.
    Common symptoms include:

    • Headache
    • Alterations in hearing or vision
    • Seizures
    • Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
    • Memory problems or bewilderment
    • Some areas of the body may feel weak or numb
    • Imbalance while walking

    Persistent symptoms require immediate medical evaluation. Early diagnosis improves outcomes.

What Causes Brain Tumors?

  • The exact cause of many brain tumors is unknown, but known risk factors include:

    • Genetic mutations

Common Questions and Answers (FAQ)

Are all brain tumors life-threatening?

No. Many brain tumors are slow-growing and manageable. The impact depends on the tumor’s type, size, location, and how it affects normal brain function.

Can brain tumors be detected early?

Some brain tumors can be detected early when symptoms are recognised and evaluated promptly. Early medical assessment and imaging tests help identify tumors before complications arise.

How fast do brain tumors grow?

Brain tumor growth rates vary. Some tumors grow slowly over years, while others may grow faster. Growth depends on the tumor’s biological behaviour and classification.

Is long-term follow-up needed after brain tumor treatment?

Yes. Long-term follow-up helps monitor recovery, detect recurrence early, and manage long-term effects. Regular check-ups and imaging are often part of ongoing care.

Can people return to normal life after a brain tumor?

Many people resume daily activities after treatment, especially with rehabilitation and support. Recovery varies based on the tumor type, treatment received, and overall health.
