Tumour Surgery & Neuroendoscopy

Abnormal growth of cells within the brain or central spinal canal is defined as tumour.  In simple terms, tumours are created by an abnormal and uncontrolled cell division in the brain cells.  The amount of danger associated with brain tumour depends on a combination of factors like the tumour type, tumour location, tumour size and tumour’s state of development.

As the brain is well protected by the skull, tumour detection in early stages can happen only when the diagnostics tools are directed at the intracranial activity. Generally, brain tumour detection occurs in advanced stages as tumours cause symptoms that cannot be explained.   

At Sunshine, we understand that brain tumours / neurological complications of other cancers, generally lead to serious implications for the affected and their families. Extending care for the individual affected with neuro-oncological disease is a difficult task as it requires efforts from different specialists. To this end, Sunshine’s multidisciplinary specialists work towards extending comprehensive neurosurgical care for brain and spinal tumours. Also, our team holds wide ranging capabilities to treat cases of neuro-oncology including deep seated & skull base tumours that are operated via endoscope & through nose too.

Alarming signals of a brain tumour:

  • first complaint of headache in an individual over 50 years
  • first migraine attack in an individual over 40 years
  • first complaint of headache in an individual below 6 years
  • Stiffness of the neck / neurological dysfunction
  • Vomiting in early morning or vomiting unrelated to headache or other illnesses  
  • Behavioural changes or rapid decline in school results

Areas Treated:

  • Benign and malignant tumours of
  • Brain
  • Spinal cord
  • Skull base
  • Spine in adults and children
  • Benign tumour – is a tumor that lacks the ability to metastasize i.e. such tumours lack the ability to spread from one organ or part to another non-adjacent organ or part.
  • Malignant tumour – is a tumour which becomes progressively worse and that holds potential to cause death.
