Every year 40k to 50k Diagnosed with Brain Tumour in India: Dr Anil Sofat
Chandigarh, June 06, 2025:-- To create awareness on 'World Brain Tumour Day' a team of doctors from PARK Hospital, Mohali including Dr. Anil Sofat consultant brain & spine surgery, Dr Sangeeta Pradhan neurologist, Dr Joban Jit Kaur radiation oncologist and Dr Vimal Vibhakar senior consultant general surgery and medical director addressed the media on Friday.
PARK Hospitals is North India's biggest super specialty hospital network with 19 hospitals, 3500 beds, 800 ICU beds , 14 cath labs, 45 modular OTs and over 1000 doctors.
Dr. Anil Sofat said that there are more than 100 distinct types of primary brain tumours, each with its own spectrum of presentations, treatments, and outcomes. Several researches have been going on for the treatment of brain tumours.
Dr. Sofat also shared that the incidence and prevalence of brain tumour is growing rapidly in India.v He added that every year 40,000 to 50,000 people are diagnosed with brain tumours which reduces life expectancy by 20 years. These statistics are shocking. Brain tumours can be, and are often, operated upon while awake so that they can assist the surgeon by moving a part of the body or speaking during surgery.
He said that advanced technologies have made it possible for the neuro experts to venture in areas which were, for long, considered to be unapproachable or have unacceptable levels of risk of injury.
Dr Sangeeta Pradhan said that the tumours can be cancerous or benign. Malignant brain tumours, mostly, arise from brain matter and can only be controlled for variable periods of time, after using all the various modalities of treatment available. But they differ from cancers of rest of body in that they do not metastasize (i.e. spread to other parts of body). She added that benign tumours, on the other hand, originate mostly from structures around the brain (extrinsic). They can be successfully removed surgically and, once removed totally, they mostly do not recur.
Dr. Joban Jit Kaur said that brain tumours account for about 2 % of all cancers. Around 500 new cases of brain tumours are diagnosed every day worldwide and most of them are not inheritable. Brain tumours can occur at all ages – from infant to ripe old age. As of now no definite cause has been found for their origin.
Early symptoms of brain tumours:
- Recurrent headaches
- Giddiness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fits
- Change in mental state or personality, Behavioral Problems.
- Loss of memory
- Unsteadiness in walking
- Speech problems
- Weakness or altered sensation in one or more limbs
- Weakness or paralysis of face or one half of body
- Problems with deteriorating vision, ability to hear or speak properly
