Overview
Aster Hospitals is a prime healthcare facility. It offers complete and premium medical care to patients. One of the unique facets of the hospital is its patient-centric approach to healthcare. The neuro-oncology department at Aster specializes in treating brain tumors and other neurological conditions.
Abnormal cell growth in the brain is referred to as a brain tumor. They can be either cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). They can originate within the brain itself (primary brain tumors) or spread to the brain from other body parts (metastatic brain tumors). The exact cause of brain tumors is often unknown. Certain risk factors, such as exposure to radiation, family history, and genetic syndromes, may increase the likelihood of developing these tumors.
Besides genetic factors, environmental and lifestyle factors may also play a role in the development of brain tumors. Exposure to certain chemicals, radiation therapy to the head, and a history of previous cancers can increase the risk.
Possible symptoms of brain tumors could include changes in speech and vision, difficulty with balance, persistent headaches, and seizures.
Other symptoms may include cognitive impairments, such as memory loss or difficulty concentrating, personality changes, and mood swings. The severity and progression of symptoms can vary depending on the size, location, and type of the tumor. It is important to note that not all brain tumors cause symptoms, especially in the early stages. In some cases, brain tumors may be discovered incidentally during imaging tests for unrelated conditions. Therefore, it is essential to consult an expert if any concerning symptoms arise. Early detection and medication can help prevent complications. Notably, most brain tumors occur sporadically, with no known cause or risk factors specified.
Whether you need a routine check-up or a complex medical procedure, you can trust the experts at Aster Hospitals to provide the highest quality of care possible.

Advanced Technology & Facilities
Aster Hospitals is equipped with a range of facilities to ensure comprehensive care for treating brain tumor patients. One of its numerous facilities is a specialized neurosurgical unit. It houses state-of-the-art operating rooms equipped with advanced surgical tools and technologies. These facilities enable neurosurgeons to perform intricate brain tumor surgeries precisely and minimize patient risk.
Computed Tomography Scan
Computed tomography (CT) scan allows doctors to get detailed images of the brain. It can be used to identify the site and extent of the tumor. Deciding the best course of cure for the patient depends heavily on this vital information. CT scans can also be used to track the treatment's progress and detect any changes in the tumor.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scan
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans use strong magnets to produce images of the brain. MRIs are particularly helpful in seeing tumors that may be challenging to see on a CT scan.
