Our Senior Neuro-Oncologist Dr. K. Venkateswara Rao provides complete information about #braintumors, myths & facts about brain tumors, diagnosis, and treatment options for brain cancer. This video provides a comprehensive overview of brain tumors.

There are many types of brain tumors. The tumors are formed by abnormal growth of cells and may be either benign or malignant. Benign brain tumors grow and press on nearby areas of the brain. They rarely spread into other tissues and may recur. Malignant brain and spinal cord tumors are likely to grow quickly and spread into other brain tissues.

Malignant brain tumors can affect people of all ages. As always, early detection and treatment may save a life.

Consult a specialist immediately if you observe any of these symptoms.

Today, on World Thalassaemia Day.

Understanding Thalassaemia: Thalassaemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin production, leading to anemia. This condition affects the body's ability to produce sufficient healthy red blood cells, resulting in fatigue, weakness, and other complications.

Causes: Thalassaemia is caused by mutations in the genes responsible for hemoglobin production. These mutations affect the synthesis of hemoglobin, leading to abnormal or insufficient red blood cell production.

Signs and Symptoms: 1. Fatigue and weakness 2. Pale skin 3. Shortness of breath 4. Delayed growth and development 5. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) 6. Enlarged spleen and liver

Prevention: While Thalassaemia is a genetic condition that cannot be prevented, individuals can undergo genetic counseling and testing to assess their risk of passing on the condition to their children. Prenatal screening and diagnosis can also help identify affected pregnancies early, allowing for appropriate management and support.

Let's raise awareness and support those affected by Thalassaemia on this World Thalassaemia Day!

Lifestyle Factors: Poor diet (low in fiber, high in red or processed meats), lack of physical activity, obesity, smoking, and heavy alcohol consumption can increase the risk.

Genetics: Some inherited gene mutations, such as Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), can significantly increase the risk of colorectal cancer.

Race and Ethnicity: African Americans have a higher risk of colorectal cancer than other racial or ethnic groups.

Early detection through regular screenings, such as colonoscopies, can greatly improve treatment outcomes. If you're concerned about your risk or have symptoms, don't hesitate to reach out to our expert team at Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital.
