Glioma Treatment in Indore

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours. They arise from the glial (supporting) cells of the brain and range from slow-growing low-grade tumours to aggressive high-grade tumours such as glioblastoma. The grade of the tumour decides how it behaves and how it should be treated.

Dr. Nilesh Jain performs microsurgical excision of gliomas in Indore with the goal of maximum safe removal — taking out as much tumour as possible while protecting speech, movement and other vital functions.

Symptoms of glioma

• Headache that gradually increases over weeks to months
• Seizures — often the first symptom of a low-grade glioma
• Progressive weakness of an arm or leg
• Personality or memory changes
• Speech difficulty or visual disturbance
• Nausea and vomiting from raised pressure inside the head

Treatment of glioma

Surgery is the first step for most gliomas: it relieves pressure, confirms the diagnosis and improves the response to further treatment. Using the operating microscope, the tumour is removed along safe planes; tumours close to critical areas are debulked to the maximum safe extent.

The biopsy report (histopathology and molecular markers) then guides further treatment. Low-grade gliomas may only need observation with regular MRI scans, while high-grade gliomas are treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery in coordination with oncologists.
