Tumors<\/h2><div class=\"content-block\"><p class=\"lead\">Brain tumors are masses, both benign and malignant, that develop as a result of abnormal growth of normal cells in the brain. Brain tumors occur in all ages, including newborns. After middle age, a large number of cancer patients, especially those with cancer, can develop a brain tumor due to the spread of the cancer. The resulting mass can increase intracranial pressure, putting pressure on the brain and causing a variety of negative symptoms. Early diagnosis of brain tumors often impacts the patient&#039;s life and quality of life.<\/p><div class=\"content-block\"><p>Under pressure, the brain loses its normal structure and becomes unable to perform its functions, and the following symptoms mainly occur:<\/p><ul><li>1- Headache<\/li><li>2- Epilepsy-like fainting spells<\/li><li>3- Partial paralysis in some parts of the body<\/li><li>4- Severe vomiting<\/li><li>5- Loss of some of our physical abilities<\/li><li>6- Personality disorders<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Headache:<\/strong>\u00a0Only patients with brain tumors in experience headaches. Our patients report that the pain began in the last few months and has gradually worsened.<\/p><p><strong>Nausea and vomiting:<\/strong>\u00a0It is important that it be accompanied by a headache and has been present for several days or weeks. However, the prolonged presence of headache and vomiting suggests migraine.<\/p><p><strong>Double vision and blurred vision:<\/strong>\u00a0Double vision, blurred vision, and decreased vision, occurring with or without headache, are the first symptoms of brain tumors.<\/p><p><strong>Weakness, clumsiness, and imbalance in the arms and legs:<\/strong>\u00a0Recent numbness in the right or left side of the body, weakness, numbness, and clumsiness in the hands may be observed. A &quot;drunken gait&quot; and &quot;unsteadiness&quot; while walking may be symptoms of a cerebellar tumor.<\/p><p><strong>Speech disorder:<\/strong>\u00a0Inability to speak, difficulty understanding, incorrect word expressions, or drunken speech may also be the first signs of brain tumors.<\/p><p><strong>Epilepsy:<\/strong>\u00a0Involuntary seizures, with or without loss of consciousness, and panic attacks, along with feelings of uneasiness, may be a form of epilepsy. Seizures of this type, particularly those occurring after age 20, should be considered a brain tumor until proven otherwise.<\/p><p>It is possible to divide brain tumors into two main categories\u2026<\/p><p>Brain tumors are generally classified as primary or secondary, and these are those that (usually) begin elsewhere in the body and metastasize to the brain, or those that form in the brain. Brain cancers are more common in people under 9 and over 55, and are more common in Caucasians and men.<\/p><p><strong>1- Benign tumors:<\/strong>\u00a0They have a slow reproductive rate. They can also be easily separated from brain tissue and can be removed entirely or nearly entirely. Therefore, postoperative outcomes are excellent. However, even if the tumor is benign, if it is located in vital, sensitive areas of the brain, the results are unfortunately not as promising.<\/p><p><strong>2- Malignant tumors:<\/strong>\u00a0They multiply very quickly, resembling mud. Therefore, they cannot be completely removed surgically. After surgery, they grow back for a certain period of time, continuing to press on the brain. Malignant tumors can also be classified according to their rate of growth. While some tumors offer a survival rate of 5-6 years after surgery, others regenerate within 5-6 months, resulting in death.<\/p><p>The treatment for brain tumors is surgical. Whether benign or malignant, all tumors are treated surgically. However, in some cases, surgery may not be possible. If the tumor is located in sensitive, vital areas of the brain, touching these areas would be life-threatening, and the tumor may be left in place. In this case, only radiation therapy and medication (chemotherapy) may be used.<\/p><p>Tumors originating in other parts of the body can spread to the brain. This is called metastasis. Lung cancers, in particular, can spread to the brain and are considered malignant tumors. Even with surgery, the results are often disappointing. In some cases, if there are only a few focal areas of spread, surgery may not even be necessary. The patient undergoes chemotherapy and radiation therapy.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"content-block\"><h3>Classification of Brain Tumors<\/h3><h4>Pituitary Adenomas<\/h4><div class=\"image-gallery\"><div class=\"image-item\">Pituitary adenomas are divided into two main groups: hormone-secreting and non-hormone-secreting. Hormone-secreting adenomas generally cause symptoms related to the hormones they secrete. Non-hormone-secreting adenomas, on the other hand, may not cause symptoms for a long time. However, they can cause vision problems by pressing on the optic nerve (the nerve responsible for vision). Hormonal disorders, menstrual irregularities or absence of menstrual periods, breast milk production, excessive weight gain, rapid height growth, and growth in the hands, feet, and jaw are all symptoms of hormone imbalances and require medical attention. If the tumor grows too large, it increases intracranial pressure and causes general symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting.<\/div><\/div><h4>Meningeal Tumors<\/h4><div class=\"image-gallery\"><div class=\"image-item\">Meningiomas generally enlarge, causing increased intracranial pressure and headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Epileptic seizures may also occur. These tumors also exhibit symptoms depending on their location. Those located near the optic nerve can cause vision impairment, while those near the brain region involved in movement can cause paralysis. Therefore, any abnormalities in brain function should be investigated appropriately.<\/div><\/div><h4>Metastatic Tumors<\/h4><p>Metastatic tumors are tumors that occur when tumors from other parts of the body spread to the brain. These tumors manifest by increasing intracranial pressure and\/or causing nervous system damage, depending on their location. Such metastases can often be the first sign of the tumor. These tumors can cause extensive edema, which can be visualized radiologically.<\/p><h4>Angle (Pontocerebellar) Tumors<\/h4><p>These tumors are located in a specific area of the brain tissue. Auditory nerve tumors (acoustic neuromas) are the most common tumors. Meningiomas (cerebral meningeal tumors) and epidermoid tumors are also encountered. In addition to the general symptoms of brain tumors, tumors in this area also cause hearing and balance disorders. When these tumors are detected in small sizes, hearing can be preserved. If the tumor is very large, hearing cannot be preserved and the facial nerve can also be affected.<\/p><div class=\"image-gallery\"><div class=\"image-item\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><h4>Glial (Brain Tissue) Tumors<\/h4><p>These tumors are generally malignant and grow within brain tissue. Their symptoms are general. Symptoms also vary depending on their location. Epilepsy (seizures) may be the first symptom in some patients.<\/p><div class=\"image-gallery\"><div

TUMORS Home Page \/ Brain Tumors Brain tumors are tumors that form as a result of abnormal growth of normal cells in the brain, forming masses of either malignant or benign origin. Brain tumors are seen in all ages, including newborns. After middle age, a large number of cancer patients, especially those with cancer, can develop a tumor in the brain due to the spread of the cancer. The resulting mass causes increased intracranial pressure, putting pressure on the brain and causing a number of negative symptoms. Early diagnosis of brain tumors often impacts the patient&#039;s life and quality of life. The brain loses its normal structure under the pressure and becomes unable to perform its functions, and the following symptoms are the most common: 1- Headache 2- Epileptic-like fainting spells 3- Partial paralysis in some parts of the body 4- Severe vomiting 5- Loss of some physical abilities 6- Personality disorders Headache: Only patients with brain tumors experience headaches. Our patients report that the pain began in the last few months and has become increasingly severe. Nausea and vomiting: The presence of a headache, especially if it has been present for several days or weeks, is important. However, a prolonged headache and vomiting suggests a migraine. Double vision and blurred vision: Double vision, blurred vision, and decreased vision, with or without a headache, are the first signs of a brain tumor. Weakness, clumsiness, and imbalance in the arms and legs: Recent numbness on the right or left side of the body, weakness, numbness, and clumsiness in the hands may be observed. A &quot;drunken gait&quot; and &quot;unsteadiness&quot; while walking may be symptoms of a cerebellar tumor. Speech disturbances: Inability to speak, difficulty understanding, mispronouncing words, or drunken speech may also be the first signs of a brain tumor. Epilepsy: Involuntary spasms with or without loss of consciousness, and panic attacks, along with feelings of uneasiness, can be a form of epilepsy. These types of seizures, especially those occurring after the age of 20, should be investigated and considered a brain tumor until proven otherwise. Brain tumors can be broadly categorized into two categories: Brain tumors are generally classified as primary or secondary. These tumors (usually) begin elsewhere in the body and metastasize to the brain, and those that develop in the brain. Brain cancers, which are more common in people under 9 and over 55, are more common in Caucasians and males. 1- Benign tumors: They have a slow reproductive rate. They can also be easily separated from brain tissue and can be removed entirely or nearly entirely. Therefore, postoperative outcomes are very good. However, even if the tumor is benign, if it is located in vital, sensitive areas of the brain, the results are unfortunately not satisfactory. 2- Malignant tumors: They grow very quickly and have a mud-like consistency. Therefore, they cannot be completely removed surgically. They grow back within a certain period of time after surgery and continue to press on the brain. Malignant tumors can also be classified according to their reproductive rate. While some tumors offer a survival rate of 5-6 years after surgery, others regenerate within 5-6 months, causing the patient&#039;s death. The treatment of brain tumors is surgical. Whether benign or malignant, all tumors are treated surgically. However, in some cases, surgery may not be possible. If the tumor is located in sensitive, vital areas of the brain, the tumor may be left in place, as touching these areas is life-threatening. In this case, only radiation therapy and medication (chemotherapy) can be used. Tumors originating in other parts of the body can spread to the brain. This is called metastasis. Lung cancers, in particular, can spread to the brain and are considered malignant tumors. Even with surgery, the results are often disappointing. In some cases, if there are only a few focal areas of spread, surgery may not even be necessary. The patient is subjected to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Classification of Brain Tumors: Pituitary Adenomas: Pituitary adenomas are divided into two main groups: hormone-secreting and non-hormone-secreting. Hormone-secreting adenomas generally cause symptoms based on the hormones they secrete. Non-hormone-secreting adenomas, on the other hand, remain asymptomatic for a long time. However, they can cause vision problems by pressing on the optic nerve (the nerve responsible for vision). Hormonal disorders, menstrual irregularities or absence of menstrual periods, breast milk production, obesity, rapid height growth, and growth in the hands, feet, and jaw are all symptoms of hormonal imbalances, and a doctor should be consulted. If the tumor grows significantly, it increases intracranial pressure and causes general symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Meningeal Tumors: Meningiomas generally grow, causing increased intracranial pressure and headache, nausea, and vomiting. Epileptic seizures may also occur. These tumors also cause symptoms depending on their location. Those located near the optic nerve (optic nerve) cause vision problems, while those near the brain region responsible for movement can cause strokes. Therefore, necessary tests should be performed for any brain function abnormalities. Metastatic Tumors: Metastatic tumors are tumors that occur when tumors from other parts of the body spread to the brain tissue. These tumors cause symptoms by increasing intracranial pressure and\/or causing nervous system damage, depending on their location. These types of spasms can often be the first sign of the tumors. These tumors cause extensive edema that can be visualized radiologically. Pontocerebellar Tumors: These tumors are located in a specific area of the brain tissue. Auditory nerve tumors (acoustic neuromas) are common. Meningiomas (brain meningeal tumors) and epidermoid tumors are also encountered. In addition to the general symptoms of brain tumors, tumors in this area also cause hearing and balance disorders. When these tumors are detected in small sizes, hearing can be preserved. If the tumor is very large, hearing cannot be preserved and the facial nerve may also be affected. Glial Tumors: These tumors are generally malignant and grow within the brain tissue. Their symptoms are general. Again, symptoms depend on their location. Epilepsy (epileptic seizures) may occur as the first symptom in some patients. \u00f8; RELATED DISEASES: Lumbar Spondylolisthesis, Hydrocephalus, Spinal Cord Tumors<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2224,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uzmanliklar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2589"}],"version-history":[{"count":49,"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2745,"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2589\/revisions\/2745"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/profdrhasanozgurozdemir.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
