Cancer in most of the human body develops gradually. In the lungs or organs of the digestive tract, with close observation, you can see symptoms that indicate the disease in the first stages. In this case, there are some systems in which the spread of cancer cells occurs absolutely without any signs. For example, it is very difficult to see the symptoms of a brain tumor in the early stages. The disease is characterized by the severity of the course and is mainly found in the last stages of development, when it is simply impossible to do something.
Signs of a brain tumor at an early stage
The main symptoms of cancer in the initial stages are manifested by local symptoms. It appears as a result of the growth of unhealthy tissues in the skull. The tumor begins to press on healthy areas, which leads to a malfunction.
General cerebral symptoms manifest only after a while, when the disease has already passed into the active phase. This directly depends on the location of the education. The fact is that each department of the brain is responsible for a set of specific functions. The longer the disease progresses, the more pronounced is the cancer symptomatology. In the early stages of the signs of a brain tumor are almost invisible.
Focal symptoms can be different:
- sensitivity decreases or disappears in some parts of the body;
- the perception of the position of one's own torso is lost;
- Memory worsens, forgetfulness appears;
- the intellect changes;
- visual and auditory hallucinations;
- with time, hearing or sight deteriorates - a person can perceive only individual sounds or the outlines of an object;
- the handwriting changes;
- there is drowsiness, weakness and dizziness, leading to nausea;
- irritability and indifference - the brain tumor in the early stages can manifest as an unexplained aggression;
- the gait becomes different;
- the possibility of making precise movements is lost;
- sometimes there may be cramps;
- headaches that can not be removed even by the strongest drug.
Causes of the disease
Experts still can not understand in detail in the development of this disease. In addition, the cause is not even known. Usually the first thing that leads to the conclusion of a doctor is the initial signs. There are several main factors that can influence the development of the disease:
- head trauma ;
- excessive smoking;
- constant influence of radiation;
- exposure to certain chemicals - usually at work;
- congenital predisposition.
Treatment of a brain tumor with symptoms at an early stage
The fight against brain cancer can be considered effective if it was started at the right time. As with other types of cancer, this is treated with certain drugs (chemotherapy), surgery or radiation. Most often, the methods are applied in a complex, rather than separately. It is not easy to remove a brain tumor - especially if it concerns the centers responsible for the work of important organs.
It is believed that the fourth stage is the last. At it irreversible processes occur, which can not be cured. The only thing that can be done is to weaken the symptoms, introducing drugs that specifically affect them.
Many believe that the best treatment is to prevent the appearance of the disease. To do this, you need to constantly eat apples and onions - they help strengthen immunity , allowing it to protect itself from cancer cells. In addition, it is important to absorb the right amount of water, so that excess substances and microorganisms are quickly washed out of the body.
