Awareness can save your life. It might be dangerous.

The Meningioma is a slow growing tumor that usually appears on the surface of the brain and shows significant symptoms, when it grows and presses on the brain or spinal cord. Meningioma is a type of tumor that takes part in the meninges, which are the slight membranes that envelop and shield the brain and spinal cord. About 80% of meningioma is benign type. It is thought that the role of Immunotherapy can boosts the body’s natural defenses to fight against the tumorcells; it functions by using the materials evoked from the body or by using in-vitro developed drugs and regulate the body immune system.

Based on its initiation in the CNS Meningioma is divided into different types they are Convexity meningioma, Sphenoid meningioma, Olfactory groove meningioma, Posterior fossa meningioma, Suprasellar meningioma, Spinal meningioma, Falx &parasagittal meningioma and Intraorbital meningioma.

As per the data available within the United States itself meningioma occupies 35% among primary tumors and it takes place in about seven of every one lakh natives. Rarely seen in children. Survival rates for meningioma depend on some factors, together with the age of the patient and whether the tumor is cancerous.

Numerous risk factors are associated with this type of cancer is Age: People among the age groups of 30 & 70 are mostly prone to diagnosis with meningioma, Genetic disorders: People with NF2 are more likely to develop meningioma and finally it depends on Race/Ethnicity. Most common symptoms associated seen are convulsions, Motor seizures, and sudden involuntary movements of a person’s muscles, headache, weakness, confusion and numbness.

Primary step in diagnosis is to undergo the patient with physical examinations such as Neurological, vision, and hearing tests. Once after the physical examination, Imaging tests are of higher use when the results are compared with the patient’s medical history, neurological tests, and physical examination. Such imaging techniques include cerebral angiogram, Electroencephalography, Lumbar puncture, Stereotactic neurosurgery/Biopsy,MRI, X – rays and PET scan.

Recent advancements are on the way to present better treatment process for the patients, these include Anti-angiogenesis therapy generally inhibits the angiogenesis process via this mechanism it targets the tumor cells restricting their growth by making them on starving. It is consider as a kind of targeted therapy. Another advanced technique is gene therapy, which generally scans the faulty genes that are responsible for tumor growth. Researchers are trying to launch sophisticated therapies in the future that can serve the patients by curing the disease.
