Brain Tumor Treatment in Ranchi

Brain Tumor Treatment in Ranchi

Neurosurgery, awake craniotomy where suitable, and coordinated brain tumor care at Raj Hospital, Ranchi.

Overview: Brain Tumor Surgery in Ranchi

A brain tumor occurs when abnormal cells grow and multiply uncontrolled within the brain. At Raj Hospital, we offer the brain tumor treatment in Ranchi, leveraging modern neurosurgical techniques and multidisciplinary oncology strategies to treat both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) brain tumors.

Our department has imaging facilities and operating theatres equipped for neurosurgery, providing neurosurgery for brain tumors in Ranchi.

Common Symptoms of a Brain Tumor

Symptoms vary drastically depending on the tumor's size, location, and rate of growth. Common signs include:

  • New onset or a change in pattern of headaches
  • Unexplained nausea or vomiting
  • Vision problems (blurred vision, double vision)
  • Gradual loss of sensation or movement in an arm/leg
  • Difficulty with balance and coordination
  • Speech difficulties and confusion
  • Seizures (especially in someone without a history)

Diagnostic Technologies

Accurate diagnosis is crucial. Diagnosis is based on detailed brain imaging and, when needed, a tissue biopsy.

  • MRI & CT Scans

    High-resolution imaging to evaluate the exact size and location of the tumor.

  • Stereotactic Biopsy

    A minimally invasive procedure to safely retrieve tissue samples for microscopic evaluation.

Our Brain Tumor Treatment Approaches

Neurosurgery

If the tumor is in an accessible location, our neurosurgeons aim to remove as much of it as can be done safely while trying to protect important neurological functions.

Awake Craniotomy

Used for selected tumors near speech or movement areas: the patient is awake for part of the operation so brain function can be checked, helping reduce the risk to speech and movement.

Radiation Therapy

Targeted high-energy beams used post-surgery to destroy remaining tumor cells, facilitated by our coordinated oncology team.

Chemotherapy & Targeted Therapy

Drugs to kill tumor cells tailored to the specific abnormalities or mutations of your tumor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Brain Tumor treatments at Raj Hospital

Where can I get brain tumor treatment in Ranchi?

Raj Hospital, Ranchi offers evaluation and neurosurgical treatment for brain tumors, with coordination of further oncology care where needed.

Is brain tumor surgery safe?

All brain surgery carries risks, which depend on the tumor's type, size and location and on the patient's overall health. Techniques such as image guidance and, in selected cases, awake craniotomy can help reduce risk to important brain areas. Your neurosurgeon will explain the specific risks and benefits before surgery.

Do all brain tumors require surgery?

Not necessarily. Treatment mapping depends strictly on the tumor's type, size, position, and growth rate. Some tumors may only need regular monitoring, whilst others might specifically be treated via targeted therapies or stereotactic procedures.

What is the survival rate for brain tumor surgery in Ranchi?

The survival and recovery rate depends significantly on whether the tumor is benign or malignant. Outcomes depend mainly on the tumor's type, grade and location and on how completely it can be removed. Many benign tumors have good long-term outcomes after treatment, while malignant tumors usually need further therapy; your treating team can explain what to expect in your case.

How long does it take to recover from a brain tumor surgery?

Most patients stay in the hospital for 3 to 7 days post-surgery. Full recovery can take a few weeks to a couple of months. Our rehabilitation team works with you to help regain strength and function after surgery.
