Metastatic Brain Tumors

Metastatic brain tumors are cancerous masses that originate from cancers elsewhere in the body and spread to the brain. These tumors are among the most common types of intracranial tumors. Lung cancer is the most common source of metastatic brain tumors in men, while breast cancer is the most prevalent in women. Dr. Sina Rajamand offers advanced neurosurgical treatment for metastatic brain tumors at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery in Reno.

Common symptoms of metastatic brain tumors, in addition to those from the primary cancer, include:

Increased intracranial pressure, often manifesting as headaches, vomiting, and changes in consciousness
Seizures
Epilepsy
Neurological symptoms typically affecting one side of the body, such as tingling, motor changes, or paralysis

Advanced Neurosurgery for Brain Tumors in Reno, NV

Dr. Rajamand and his team at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery near Reno, NV collaborate with various cancer specialists in the area to provide comprehensive treatment for brain tumors. As a highly skilled neurosurgeon with extensive education, training, and experience, Dr. Sina Rajamand is well-equipped to perform the complex neurosurgical procedures often required to treat metastatic brain tumors.

The primary objective of neurosurgery for metastatic brain tumors is to remove the cancerous mass completely, if feasible, while preserving nearby brain tissue, nerves, blood vessels, and other essential structures. Successful removal of the tumor can often alleviate symptoms caused by increased intracranial pressure. However, if the tumor has caused damage to nerves or other structures, recovery of lost sensations or motor skills may be gradual, and additional therapies may be needed as part of the rehabilitation process.

Dr. Rajamand is renowned for his expertise in using minimally-invasive techniques and advanced technology for neurosurgical procedures. When applicable, he prefers these methods to minimize surgical risks, reduce the chance of infection, and preserve surrounding tissues. These techniques also contribute to faster recovery times. Dr. Rajamand will thoroughly discuss any recommended procedures and explain the specific approach tailored to your case.
