Types of Brain Tumour

Brain tumours are categorised based on the type of cells involved and their behaviour. Primarily, they fall into two categories:

Primary Brain Tumours

Primary brain tumours are the most common types that originate in the brain, which can be

  • Benign (non-cancerous):

    A less aggressive tumour that does not damage nearby tissues or spread in the body.

  • Malignant (cancerous):

    An aggressive tumour that can damage nearby tissues and spread to other body parts.

Secondary or Metastatic Brain Tumours

Secondary or Metastatic Brain Tumours

Metastatic brain tumours can spread from lung, breast, kidney or melanoma cancers to the brain through the bloodstream.

Other Brain Tumours

Brain tumours are classified by the cell type they originate from, such as:

  • Gliomas:

    The most common type, develops from glial cells supporting neurons.

  • Meningioma:

    Tumours that develop in the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

  • Acoustic neuromas:

    Benign tumours that develop on the auditory nerve, affecting hearing and balance.

  • Pituitary tumours:

    Abnormal growths in the pituitary gland, which controls hormones.

  • Medulloblastomas:

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is every brain tumour cancerous?

    No. Many brain tumours are benign. Each case requires careful evaluation to determine the best treatment approach.

    Will I lose my memory after surgery?

    Modern surgical techniques minimise risks of memory loss. Most patients maintain unchanged brain functions with proper rehabilitation support.

    How successful is brain tumour surgery?

    Success depends on tumour type, location and stage, with many patients experiencing significant improvement. Consult with Dr Rohit Mishra to get your condition diagnosed and treated early.

    What makes minimally invasive surgery different?

    The treatment process reduces recovery time and complications while maintaining the effectiveness of primary brain tumour treatment through smaller incisions.

    How can I prevent brain tumours?

    While no guaranteed prevention exists, a healthy lifestyle and avoiding radiation exposure may reduce risk. If you experience any concerning symptoms, visit Dr Rohit Mishra for timely medical intervention.
