Brain Cns Tumors

About Brain Cns Tumors

A brain tumor diagnosis is overwhelming, and many people come to DrTalks looking for support alongside the treatment their care team recommends. Headaches or vision changes that turned out to be a tumor, a child facing brain cancer, a pituitary tumor found after months of fatigue, and life after surgery and radiation are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the tumor itself. Brain cancer care is tied to metabolism, mitochondria, blood sugar, inflammation and the immune system. You'll find conversations on how an eye exam caught a hidden brain tumor, the metabolic theory of cancer, ketogenic metabolic therapy, and survivors who beat long odds. Doctors, neurosurgeons, cancer researchers and survivors explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from brain imaging and eye exams to hormone panels and cancer biomarkers, and what helps alongside treatment, from the ketogenic diet and nutrition to hyperbaric oxygen, mind-body practices and community support.
