Brain Tumour Causes, Symptoms & Treatment - Q&A with Dr Nicolas Kon | Mount Elizabeth Hospitals

A brain tumour is an abnormal, uncontrolled growth of cells within the brain tissue. In this video, neurosurgeon Dr Nicolas Kon shares more about brain tumour symptoms, causes, and minimally invasive treatment options.

Did you know that there are no established causes for brain tumours? However, known factors include genetics, and exposure to radiation, industrial chemicals, and solvents.

Obvious symptoms that may point to a brain tumour include include persistent headaches and vomiting. Other symptoms include stroke-like symptoms such as weakness in arms or legs, and difficulty with speech and thinking.

The main treatment for brain tumour is surgery. Other treatments for brain tumour include chemotherapy, radiation and medication, depending on the severity of the brain tumour.

Yall never seem to know what causes tumors and thats fascinating considering the answer is so obvious and clear. Its the breakdown of the cellular membrane, thats why cancer pops up anywhere. Now look into what would cause a cells membrane to break down, idk maybe dehydration, (lack of proper sodium &water), degenerative diet habits (excessive carbs, sugar, alcohol, hybrid wheat, etc.), inactive lymph system (the lymphatic system not removing waste, typically due to lack of excise and prolonged dehydration), lack of fiber, genetics do play a role aswell but the most of it is waste removal and degenerate behaviour… i could keep going but i’ll just leave this here

Its life habits,
