Understanding Brain Tumors: Symptoms and Treatments

Hearing the term "brain tumor" often instills a sense of fear in people. Once considered a harbinger of death, the treatment of brain tumors has now become highly effective, safe, and largely painless due to advanced technologies such as radiosurgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and computer-guided stereotactic brain surgery, as well as robotic surgery. The earlier the diagnosis of a brain tumor, the easier the treatment becomes.

Brain Tumors Can Be Dangerous

Generally, any abnormal growth within the brain is considered dangerous, and the same applies to brain tumors. There are several types of brain tumors, but they are mainly classified into two categories based on their cancerous nature: malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous) tumors. People between the ages of 20 and 40 are more likely to have benign tumors, whereas those over 50 are more prone to malignant ones. Benign tumors grow more slowly compared to cancerous tumors.

Symptoms of Brain Tumors

The symptoms of brain tumors are usually directly related to where the tumor is located within the brain. For example, a tumor in the back of the brain may cause vision problems, while one in the outer region may lead to difficulties in speech. As the tumor grows, it can increase pressure on the brain, causing headaches, nausea, vomiting, vision issues, difficulty walking, or speaking problems.

Causes of Brain Tumors

In some cases, a tumor can cause fluid accumulation in the brain, a condition known as hydrocephalus. This can be dangerous for the patient. Diagnosing a brain tumor can be challenging because its symptoms may resemble those of other conditions. These symptoms can also be caused by substance use, medications, or alcohol. However, when these symptoms become severe, they could be indicative of a brain tumor. While the exact cause of brain tumors remains unknown, genetic links are currently being studied.

Treatment for Brain Tumors

The treatment for brain tumors depends on the type, location, and size of the tumor. If surgery is considered safe, it is usually the first option to remove the tumor as much as possible. The surgery is performed using endoscopy, and if complete removal isn't feasible, a stereotactic biopsy may be performed. After surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be used to eliminate any remaining tumor cells. In many cases, no postoperative treatment is required, though some tumors may necessitate additional care.

Even though the summer is yet to set in, the burning of dry horticulture waste and leaves has already started in many areas of Dwarka.

Despite several initiatives taken by authorities and activists to curb such malpractice, the story remains same every year. The residents say that such incidents are very common in parks, vacant plots and even by the roadside.

Recently, a fire incident was reported inside Bharat Vandana Park in Sector 20 for which even fire brigade had to be called in. Madhu Dagar, a resident of Crescent Apartments in Sector 18A who has been raising this issue with the authorities, said, “No one is bothered about it as if it is not a serious issue. The authorities are not taking any effective steps to control such fires which is extremely sad.”

The residents say this illegal burning of waste is further deteriorating the already damaged environment and adding to air pollution. The burning of leaves injects toxic smoke in the open areas creating respiratory problems for morning walkers. SK Malik, a resident of Youngster Apartments in Sector 6, shared, “I have been following up on this topic for some time now. Even people living in societies and civic bodies burn waste. Slum residents and villagers burn plant waste when it is not lifted by SDMC. This should be taken seriously.”

Experts say that such incidents are a clear violation of the Tree Act, the Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2000 and the Environment Pollution (Prevention & Control) Authority (EPCA) which prohibits burning of leaves.

Though South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has banned such activities in its area, the problem continues. In 2014, then commissioner of SDMC, Dr Puneet Goel, had issued notifications banning burning of all dry leaves, horticulture waste, household waste, garbage and other waste. Zonal deputy commissioners and employees were given the responsibility to check that such things don’t happen.

But since then, nothing effective has been done. Year after year, these incidents have only been on the rise. Rejimon CK, a member of Dwarka Forum and a resident of Nav Sansad Vihar in Sector 22, said, “The whole system has completely failed in stopping such wrong practice. Last year, Sunita Narayan, chief of Centre for Science and Environment had even tweeted about the grim situation in Dwarka and also raised it in the meeting of EPCC. But nothing positive has happened after that.”

When contacted on the issue, the officials of SDMC said that they are making efforts in the direction. Clearly, those efforts aren’t enough.
