Alzheimer's diseaseFirst, you have to reassure those who have ever thought, and forties or fifties, to prove that they have forgotten, that may be developing Alzheimer’s disease, saying it is unlikely to be so. What little we have said before a patient is aware of its failures and its consequences. When we go into a room and went looking for something without knowing what the hell it was, when we lose the glasses and the keys three times in one morning, when we came down the street someone greeted us graciously and we follow the flow without having any idea who he is, etc. we care. However, this concern is almost a guarantee that we are beginning to have dementia. The likelihood is that we are overly stressed, perhaps depressed, we do too many things at once or simply that we are getting older, whether we weigh. Nothing happens.

Alzheimer's DiseaseNone known. Have been identified, however, risk factors.

-Age.

“Genetic predisposition. Have been identified in recent years, certain genetic traits (so-called genotypes) that give the person carrying a predisposition, often very high, the disease, especially if you live long enough. Thus, even if someone had a high risk genotype, if you die, prematurely, for example, at age 60, it will not have the disease. Although they have a first degree relative with the disease may be at greater risk of having it in the future, compared with the normal population can not be considered Alzheimer’s disease is an inherited disease of the way classically understood. Very few cases of families affected by a genetic mutation, transmitted, under these conditions, it is hereditary disease. In other cases, we must insist on a genetic trait inherited predisposition, just that. The best known gene involved is the gene for apolipoprotein E (apoE). Read the rest of this entry »

What happens during radiation therapy To Brain Tumor

Brain TumorFor conventional radiation therapy, initial visit with the oncologist is called consultation. On this visit I asked the history of their illness and do a physical exam. At this point you may need consultation with other members of your treatment team.

After you and your (s) doctor (s) have decided the course of treatment, beginning the first phase of treatment planning. At this stage, a radiation oncologist, a doctor who specializes in radiation therapy “will make a simulation of radiotherapy treatment using current radiographs (X rays) or computed tomography (CT). In some cases, you may need an MRI. These radiographic studies are used to plan the type and direction of radiation beams used to treat cancer.

During the simulation, you must be lying for no move, on the treatment table, although at that time is not given radiotherapy. Usually, at this stage there will be an immobilization mask to keep your head in the same position. Treatment usually begins one or two days after the planning session.

Treatment Options For Brain Tumor Part 2

Brain Tumor * The three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) is a conventional form of radiation therapy that uses a specific adaptation of the X-ray beams designed to conform to the shape of the tumor to maximize the tumor dose and minimize dose applied in the surrounding normal tissue. This form of treatment is customized according to the patient’s particular anatomy and the location of the tumor. Often, it requires a CT scan or MRI for treatment planning.
* Brachytherapy is the temporary location of radioactive material in the body, usually used to give an additional dose (or stimulus) of radiation in the area instead of splitting.

Overview of Brain Tumors

Brain Tumors A brain tumor is a group of abnormal cells growing in the brain or around it. Tumors can directly destroy healthy brain cells. They can also indirectly damage them by invading other parts of the brain and cause inflammation, brain swelling and pressure inside the skull.

Brain tumors can be malignant or benign. A malignant tumor, also called brain cancer often grows quickly invade healthy brain areas. Benign tumors do not contain cancer cells. Viewed under a microscope to look normal, and usually grow slowly.

Brain tumors can be of two types: primary or metastatic. Primary brain tumors originate in the brain, and metastatic cancer cells appear when another part of the body spread to the brain. Therefore, metastatic brain tumors are almost always malignant, while primary tumors may be benign or malignant. Read the rest of this entry »
