The treatment for brain tumor varies depending on the type, size, and location of the tumor as well as on the patients’ age and overall health. The brain tumor treatment depends upon a number of factors. They are:
- Type of tumor
- Size of tumor
- Location of tumor
- Age of patient
- Overall health condition
But the treatment procedures and schedules may differ for children and adults.

Treatment for Brain Tumor

The treatment for brain tumor varies depending on the type, size, and location of the tumor as well as on the patients’ age and overall health. The treatment maybe either a combination of two or more of the following types or in some severe cases, the patient may require all of them in coordination.

Surgery:

If the location of brain tumor is easy to access by the surgeon will remove as much of the brain tumor as possible. If the tumor is small it becomes easy for the surgeon to completely remove it from the surrounding brain tissue but in case if the tumor is located near the sensitive areas of the brain then it becomes difficult to remove the tumor from the surrounding tissue as it becomes riskier. In this kind of situation, the surgeon removes only the amount of tumor that can be safely taken out. By removing even a small portion of tumor it may help in reducing the symptoms gradually.

Radiation therapy:

This therapy uses high-energy beams like x-rays or protons to kill the tumor cells. Either the radiation is targeted on the tumor from a machine kept outside the body (external beam radiation) or a radiation is focused on the tumor by placing a radioactive substance inside the body close to the brain tumor (brachytherapy).

Radiosurgery:

This is not a traditional form of surgery. It uses multiple beams of radiation to give a highly focused form of radiation treatment that kills the brain tumor cells.
The different types of technology used in this surgery to treat brain tumors are linear accelerator (LINAC) or Gamma Knife.

Chemotherapy:

In chemotherapy, drugs are used to kill the tumor cells. They can either be taken orally in pill form or injected into a vein. Different drugs are used in chemotherapy depending on the type of tumor.
The side effects depend on the type and dose of the drug the patient takes. Sometimes they can cause nausea, hair loss, and vomiting.

Targeted Drug Therapy:

In this drug therapy, the main focus is on the abnormalities present in the cancer cells. On blocking these abnormalities, it causes the cancer cells to die. The drug, when given through the veins, stops the formation of new blood vessels thereby discontinuing the supply of blood to the tumor and killing the cells of the tumor.
