Headaches, seizures, vision changes, or other neurological symptoms that worsen or don’t go away. These can include balance problems, confusion, memory issues, or changes in behavior. Such symptoms can indicate brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, or cancers that have spread to the nervous system.
Treatment:
- Neurological examination and imaging studies (CT, MRI)
- Medications to manage symptoms (anti-seizure drugs, steroids for swelling)
- Surgery to remove tumors if possible
- Radiation therapy to shrink tumors
- Chemotherapy or targeted therapy
- Rehabilitation therapies (physical, occupational, speech therapy)
- Cognitive rehabilitation for memory or behavioral issues
- Regular monitoring and follow-up
Remember, while these symptoms can be indicative of cancer, they can also be caused by many other conditions. It’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment if you experience any of these symptoms persistently. Early detection and treatment often lead to better outcomes in cancer care.
