Types of brain tumors

There are other types of brain tumors that do not begin in glial tissue. Some of the most common are described below:

Over 70,000 are primary brain tumors and the rest are metastatic brain cancer that has spread from cancer elsewhere in the body.(1)

Fund raising only 9M per year 2M only use for research and only little fund goes into Glioblastoma(2).(a)(spread quickly),(symptom)(treatment plan)(coping )

Oligonucleotides are short DNA or RNA molecules, oligomers, that have a wide range of applications in genetic testing, research, and forensics. (3) (4)

Brain Cancer Research

Brain tumors are not rare, but research is badly underfunded.

Radiation : Gamma Knife and Cyber Knife

The Gamma Knife is an advanced radiation treatment for adults and children with small to medium brain tumors, abnormal blood vessel formations called arteriovenous malformations, epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, a nerve condition that causes chronic pain, and other neurological conditions.

Cyberknife a non-invasive radiosurgery device called the CyberKnife that uses a robotic arm to deliver highly focused beams of radiation.

Treatable by a medical professional
Requires a medical diagnosis
Lab tests or imaging always required
Chronic: can last for years or be lifelong

An overactive parathyroid can be caused by an enlarged gland or as the result of another disease.

Often symptoms take a long time to develop. When they do occur, they include fragile bones, kidney stones, and excessive urination.

Treatments can include close monitoring of the condition or surgery.

Common: More than 200,000 US cases per year

What is the typical symptom of hyperparathyroidism?

The most common symptoms of hyperparathyroidism are chronic fatigue, body aches, difficulty sleeping, bone pain, memory loss, poor concentration, depression, and headaches.
