Brain Tumor Surgeon in Mumbai

What is a Brain Tumor?

Brain tumors are abnormal growths within the brain that can significantly impact 
neurological functions and overall health. These tumors can be primary, 
originating within the brain, or secondary, spreading from other parts of the 
body. They may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), with 
growth rates ranging from slow to aggressive. Symptoms vary depending on the 
tumor’s location and can include headaches, seizures, and cognitive changes.
There are various types of brain tumors. Gliomas are the most common primary 
brain tumors and include astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas.
Medulloblastomas are highly malignant tumors that primarily affect children. 
Meningiomas are typically benign and originate from the brain’s protective 
membranes. Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors that affect hormone 
production. Craniopharyngiomas, benign tumors near the pituitary gland, and 
schwannomas, tumors of the nerve sheath that often impact hearing and 
balance, are also common.
