Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My cousin has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Please suggest a line of treatment.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
Please reply with the clinical history, like what symptoms are there?
Usually, low-grade glioma requires surgery and, after a histopathology report, may require radiotherapy. It may have an overall good prognosis.
I am thankful that you have confidence in me to help you.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
Before detection, four-five days back, he suddenly tightened the tongue into his teeth so the tongue was slightly cut down. Also, saliva comes from the mouth. Please elaborate that the surgery is the only option our medication can treat. How much risk is involved in the surgery? Assume you have seen the attached report and scanned it.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read and understand your concern.
Yes, I have seen the attached reports (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity). The symptoms you mentioned are seizures or fits because of brain tumors. There is no medicine to treat the tumor. Medications to prevent further seizures must be given. I guess he is taking them. The tumor will continue to grow in size over time. So it is better to get it operated on. In experienced hands, surgery carries less risk. Yes, surgery is the only option to treat brain tumors like this.
I am looking forward to your response to help you.
Thank you.
