  1. Navigating Brain Tumors: Treatments and Hope This presentation will explore brain tumors and their impact. We will cover incidence rates, treatments, medications, and ongoing research. Our aim is to provide patients and families with information and support during their journey. by benjamin taylor

  2. Surgical Interventions for Brain Tumors Surgery is a primary treatment. The goal is complete removal or debulking. Techniques include craniotomy and minimally invasive approaches. Image-guided surgery enhances precision. Risks involve neurological deficits and infection. Craniotomy Minimally Invasive Traditional surgery. Involves opening the skull to access the tumor directly. Smaller incisions. Reduces trauma and speeds recovery.

  3. Radiation Therapy for Brain Tumors Radiation uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. EBRT delivers radiation from outside the body. SRS uses focused beams. Brachytherapy involves internal radiation. Side effects can include fatigue and cognitive issues. External Beam Radiation Stereotactic Radiosurgery Brachytherapy Uses X-rays or protons. Targets the tumor site. Precise, high-dose radiation. Minimizes damage to healthy tissue. Radioactive seeds placed near tumor. Delivers localized radiation.

  4. Chemotherapy for Brain Tumors Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. Common drugs include Temozolomide. Administered orally or intravenously. Side effects include nausea and hair loss. Oral Intravenous

  5. Targeted Therapy for Brain Tumors Targeted therapy attacks specific tumor molecules. Bevacizumab treats glioblastoma. It may have fewer side effects. This treatment targets specific molecular pathways in tumor cells. Identify Find specific molecular targets Design Create drugs to inhibit targets Attack Disrupt cancer cell growth

  6. Managing Symptoms with Brain Tumor Medication Brain tumor Medications manage seizures using AEDs. Corticosteroids reduce swelling. Analgesics and opioids control pain. Anti- nausea drugs alleviate nausea. 2 Corticosteroids 1 Anti-Epileptics Analgesics 3

  7. Clinical Trials: Advancing Brain Tumor Medicine Clinical trials are vital for progress. They test new treatments. Patients can find trials through registries. Recent FDA approvals offer new hope. 400+ Active Trials 5 Recent Approvals

  8. Hope for the Future in Brain Tumor Treatments Brain tumor treatment continues to evolve. Continued research and advocacy are vital. The National Brain Tumor Society and American Brain Tumor Association offer resources. Continued Research Driving innovation in treatment options. Patient Support Providing resources and community for patients and families.
