In February 2021, my daughter Vlada was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, we went to the doctors for a week trying to find out why the child started having severe headaches. They went through examinations, did an MRI, and as a fact, they found a brain tumor. That's when the ground slipped from under my feet. Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action. The first thing we did was go to the children's hospital in Kyiv, the child was given a shunt. But unfortunately, fluid began to collect in my head and my vision began to fall sharply. The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed. We did not have a large accumulated amount, and we decided to complete the operation abroad. We contacted Bookmed. We contacted the employee Marina. Marina quickly found a clinic for us in Turkey, organized a trip for us, flew to Turkey in a matter of days. The hospital was already waiting for us. Examined, took blood for tests and the next day an operation was scheduled. Everything went well. Then they underwent a course of radiotherapy. The results are positive, we were sent home to Ukraine (August 2021). Every 3 months they underwent MRI, the pictures were good .. But a year later, in March 2022, we heard the terrible words “relapse”, “war”. Hastily collected the necessary documents and left for Lviv. From there, by large buses, all children with cancer began to be taken out along the humanitarian corridor from Ukraine to Europe. The daughter and his wife were assigned to France. A second operation was performed, the tumor was removed, and after that a course of chemotherapy was prescribed. After a month of taking the course, the doctor said that chemotherapy was not helping. The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn't help either. As a result, the daughter is getting worse and worse every day. The child began to walk badly, the right leg and handle practically do not work. The child melted before my eyes. It's all very scary, but it's worse to leave Vlad without an opportunity for treatment. I again turned to Marina Bookmed Marina again very quickly found us a hospital in Turkey, helped us with the flight Paris Istanbul. Arrived at the hospital 2 days later, the operation was successful!!! After the operation, the child began to talk, swallow, and after a couple of days to walk. What I want to say Bookmed in particular Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level. Marina many thanks to you and your team THANK YOU."},"order":{"illness":{"id":236,"name":{"en":"Brain tumor"}}},"clinic_info":{"id":85,"name":"Medipol Mega University Hospital","alias":"medipol-mega-hastaneler-kompleksi","flags":[{"name":"is_hide","value":false},{"name":"has_active_agencies","value":false}]},"created_at":"2022-09-23T05:15:53.000+00:00","flags":[{"name":"is_approved","value":true},{"name":"is_anonymously","value":false},{"name":"is_notification_sent","value":false},{"name":"would_recommend","value":true},{"name":"has_client_feedback","value":true},{"name":"coordinator_mentioned","value":true},{"name":"deactivated_clinic","value":false}],"images":[{"full_url":"review/632d48179ed0c_b.jpeg","preview_url":"review/632d48179ed0c_s.jpeg"},{"full_url":"review/632d481c319b7_b.jpeg","preview_url":"review/632d481c319b7_s.jpeg"}],"comment_about_bookimed":{"en":"Undoubtedly"},"summary":{"positive":{"en":"\"Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level.\"Return: About the Doctor: \"The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed\", \"The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn't help either.\" About the Clinic: \"Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action.

What Is a Brain Tumor?

\n\n

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain or its surrounding tissues. It can affect brain function and lead to various symptoms depending on where and how large it is. Clinical trials show that approximately 72% of all brain tumors are benign, while the rest (28%) of cases diagnosed report to have a malignant nature.

What Is the Difference Between a Brain Tumor and Brain Cancer?

\n\n

All brain cancers are brain tumors, but not all brain tumors are cancer.

\n\n\n\n

What Are the Tumor Types?

\n\n

Brain and spinal cord (also known as central nervous system or CNS) tumors can fall into 2 main types: benign and malignant. Each type includes various specific tumors, each with unique characteristics and treatments.

\n\n

Benign Brain Tumors

\n\n

Benign types of tumors are non-cancerous and typically grow slowly. While they do not spread to other body parts, their size and location within the brain can cause serious health problems.

How Common Are Primary Brain Tumors?

\n\n

\"best

\n\n

Primary brain tumors are relatively uncommon. They originate in the brain or tissues close to it, such as the brain-covering membranes (meninges), nerves, pituitary gland, or pineal gland. They occur at a rate of about 6 cases per 100,000 people annually. Approximately 24,000 new cases of primary abnormalities are diagnosed each year in the United States.

\n\n

❗ They can occur at any age but are more common in older adults and children.

\n\n

Secondary brain tumors, also known as metastatic ones, are cancers that start elsewhere in the body and spread to the brain. These tumors are more common than primary abnormalities and often originate from lung, breast, kidney, or skin cancers. Up to 40% of patients (around 1.5 million people every year) are at risk of developing brain metastases.

\n\n

How Do the Best Neuro-Oncology Hospitals Treat Brain Cancer?

\n\n

Surgical Approaches

\n\n\n\n

During the surgery, a patient remains conscious and follows the neurosurgeon's recommendations. This allows the detection of brain areas that control vital functions of an organism and avoids their damage. Surgery is conducted under local anesthesia, which is why the operation is painless for a patient.

\n\n\n\n

It is used to remove the brain neoplasm without surgery. A doctor does not make any incision but removes neoplasm through the sinuses.

\n\n\n\n

A tumor is removed through 1.5-2 cm openings in the skull. This procedure reduces the injury rate and shortens postoperative rehabilitation. Endoscopic tools penetrate hard-to-reach distant brain areas while applying other surgical methods. The procedure requires special microsurgical equipment and a high degree of neurosurgeon skills.

\n\n

Non-Surgical Approaches

\n\n\n\n

Among the non-invasive care options are CyberKnife and Truebeam with Novalis linear accelerator (state-of-the-art modification of GammaKnife). These systems influence the neoplasm cells with radioactive irradiation and destroy them.

\n\n\n\n

In addition to standard chemotherapy, the best neurosurgery hospitals in the world often use intracranial chemotherapy for cancerous types. A surgeon places special plates with a drug right in the brain. It reduces side effects and damage to the rest of the organs. Intracranial chemotherapy is considered a new treatment for brain tumors.

\n\n

❗These options are not standard. They are appointed individually after a consultation with a doctor.

\n\n

What Causes Brain Tumors?

\n\n

Cancer is mainly caused by gene damage inside cells. While the exact reasons for brain cancer are often unknown, research has identified some risk factors. Cancer occurs when genes that control cell growth are damaged, activating oncogenes or deactivating tumor suppressor genes. These gene damages are more likely to happen during a person's lifetime rather than being inherited.

\n\n\n\n

Is Brain Tumor Hereditary?

\n\n

Brain tumors can sometimes have a hereditary component, but in many cases, the exact cause remains unclear. Some types, including gliomas and meningiomas, have been found to occur more frequently in families with a history of these tumors. Around 5% of gliomas occur with familial features.

\n\n

\"best

\n\n

Research on a family with two siblings diagnosed with Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) identified 85 gene variations not present in their healthy parents. This suggests a vital genetic component in GBM development. While GBM can have hereditary aspects, it involves complex genetic factors.

What Are the Chances of Recurrence After Completing Treatment for a Brain Tumor?

\n\n

Brain tumors can return after treatment, especially aggressive ones like glioblastoma. Many tumors grow back near the original site. Factors like age, sex, and tumor size affect the risk of recurrence. Even after treatment, the chance of a brain tumor coming back is high. In a study involving 68 patients with recurrent GBM, 69% experienced local recurrences within 1-2 centimeters of the initial tumor area. 

\n\n

Ependymoma is another type of brain tumor that can recur. In a study, doctors removed the whole tumor in 42.5% of cases and only part in 57.5%. Even with treatment, the tumor often came back. The median disease-free survival (DFS) was 22.42 months. After 1, 2, and 3 years, the chances of no recurrence were 58.5%, 41%, and 30.7%.

\n\n

What Is Brain Tumor Surgery?

\n\n

Brain tumor surgery involves the surgical removal of abnormal growths in the brain to improve health by reducing symptoms like headaches and seizures.

\n\n

The main goal is to remove as much of the tumor as possible without harming critical brain functions.

\n\n

\"best

\n\n

Performed by a neurosurgeon, the surgery typically involves a craniotomy, where part of the skull is temporarily removed to access the brain. The surgeon uses advanced imaging technologies like MRI and CT scans to guide the operation.

\n\n

As with any major surgery, there are risks, including:

\n\n\n\n

Hospital stays usually last 3-10 days, and full recovery can take weeks to months, depending on the complexity of the surgery and the patient's overall health.

What Is the Prognosis for Brain Tumor Patients?

\n\n

The prognosis for brain tumor patients depends on the tumor type and other factors. For benign tumors like meningiomas, the 5-year survival rate is over 90%. Malignant tumors, such as glioblastomas, have a median survival time of 12-18 months and a 5-year survival rate of about 5%. Early detection and advanced treatments can improve outcomes.

\n\n

Can a Brain Tumor Be Cured?

\n\n

Whether a brain tumor can be cured depends on its type, location, and how early it is detected. Benign tumors like meningiomas can often be removed entirely, leading to a cure. Malignant tumors, such as glioblastomas, are more challenging to cure and usually require ongoing treatment to manage. That's why finding the best hospital for glioblastoma treatment is complex.

\n\n

Is It Possible to Live a Fulfilling Life with a Brain Tumor?

\n\n

Yes, one can live life with a brain tumor, especially if it is benign and treated well. Many people with benign tumors, like meningiomas, lead everyday lives after treatment. Even with malignant tumors, modern treatments can help manage the condition, allowing some patients to maintain a good quality of life. 

\n\n

✅ Regular check-ups are essential for managing symptoms and preventing complications.

\n\n

What is the Life Expectancy of a Person with a Brain Tumor?

\n\n

Benign tumors like meningiomas generally have a good prognosis, especially if successfully removed. Malignant tumors, such as glioblastomas, have a more challenging outlook with shorter survival times. The location and size of the tumor, along with access to advanced treatments, also play critical roles in determining life expectancy.
