Pediatric Brain Tumors Understanding
Pediatric Brain Tumors: Overview
Pediatric brain tumors consist of a diverse group of neoplasms of the spinal cord and the brain. They are usually primary but can progress to metastatic stage as well. Primary brain tumors are pretty common in children only after leukemia. Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs), benign gliomas, and craniopharyngiomas are the major tumors affecting children. Astrocytoma is the commonest tumor of the central nervous system in children.Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of pediatric brain tumors may depend upon the location, size, and rate of growth of the tumor. Some common symptoms associated with brain tumor in children are abrupt onset of vision-related problems, headaches which may progress to become more severe and frequent, unexplained vomiting or nausea, and feeling of increased pressure in the head. A few other symptoms may include slurred speech, fuller soft spot on the skull of babies, personality or behavioral changes, trouble walking and maintaining body balance, and trouble swallowing among others.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of brain tumor in children is done by various techniques after a thorough physical examination is done. Imaging tests such as MRI, CT, and positron emission tomography may be done to identify the location and size of the tumor. Biopsy, precision medicine diagnosis, and tests to determine the spread of tumor may also be done.
Treatment
Treatment of pediatric brain tumors may depend upon on the size, type, location, and the age and overall health of the child. Surgery, traditional radiation therapy, radiosurgery, proton beam therapy, targeted drug therapy, chemotherapy, and further rehabilitation are treatments that may be carried out.
