RAJOURI, JUNE 08;–World Brain Tumour Day was celebrated at Associated Hospital Government Medical College (AH GMC) Rajouri on Thursday under the guidance of Principal GMC, Prof. (Dr.) A.K. Bhatia and under the overall supervision of Medical Superintendent (MS) AHGMC, Dr. Mehmood Hussain Bajar.

World Brain Tumour Day (WBTD) is an annual global healthcare event commemorated every year on the 8th of June with an aim to aware people about brain tumours.
The theme for WBTD-2023 is ‘Protect yourself-keep away from stress’ which emphasises the importance of developing stress management techniques to prevent brain tumours.
WBTD creates a platform to create awareness about brain tumours regarding their screening, diagnosis, and the availability of advanced treatment options, thus helping the patients and caretakers make informed decisions.

A brain tumour is an unusual growth of tissue in the brain or its covering that may disrupt proper brain function. Tumours are primarily based on where the tumour cells began and whether they may be cancerous (malignant) or not (benign).
Dr. Mehmood Hussain said that “An abnormal growth around the brain is called a brain tumour & is a hallmark of abnormal growth. Tumours can fill in any piece of the brain or skull, including the underside of the brain, defensive lining, brainstem and nasal cavity among others.

All brain tumours can develop to harm regions of regular brain tissue if left untreated, which may be disabling and possibly fatal, he added.
When the tumour grows within the brain, it puts pressure on that part of the brain, affecting the way the body works in that area. Based on the brain tissue it affects, researchers have identified more than 120 types of brain tumours.
A brain tumour is one of the deadliest disorders & can affect both adults and children. The majority of all primary central nervous system (CNS) cancers found in the brain are due to brain tumours.

Dr. Mehmood Hussain said that there are not all symptoms of brain tumours. Meningioma, which is the most well-known brain tumour in grownups, generally develops gradually and slips by everyone’s notice. However, there are still some symptoms to be aware of.
Initial symptoms vary depending on the region of the tumour and a few important symptoms include headaches (severe in the morning), change in behaviour, paralysis in one part/one side of the body, blurred vision, loss of hearing, facial numbness, vomiting/swallowing difficulties, speaking difficulty.

Brain tumours risk can be prevented by abstaining from smoking, taking safety measures to prevent head injuries, & avoiding/reducing exposure to ionising radiation/carcinogenic chemicals & infections, viruses, & allergens.
