Best Doctor for Brain Tumors Treatment in Mumbai, India

How is a brain tumor treated in a child?

Since brain tumors in children are not common, it is important to find a healthcare team that has experience and skill in treating children with brain tumors.

Treatment may include one or more of the below:

Surgery
Surgery is usually the first step in the treatment of brain tumors. The goal is to remove as much of the tumor as possible, while keeping brain function.
Chemotherapy
These are medicines that kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. They may be given into the vein (IV), injected into tissue, or taken by mouth.
Targeted therapy
These are medicines that focus on specific parts of cancer cells.
Radiation therapy
These are high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation. They are used to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing.
High-dose chemotherapy with a stem cell transplant
Young blood cells (stem cells) are taken from the child or from someone else. This is followed by a large amount of chemotherapy medicine. This causes damage to the bone marrow. After the chemotherapy, the stem cells are replaced.
