Brain tumor is an accumulation of abnormally growing cells in the brain. The authors have covered in detail about formation, types of brain tumors in different tissues of the brain causing severe discomfort for the patient. A brief discussion between brain tumor and leptomeningeal disease is also presented in the article. A combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy treatment improves the prognosis for leptomeningeal disease. Some tumor types are especially sensitive to chemotherapy injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, either by lumbar puncture (“spinal tap”) or through a surgically implanted device called an Ommaya. Detailed effects of malignancy in brain on central nervous system have been covered in the article. The spread of lump and its expectancy in population have been covered in the research. Authors have also described the effects of lump on the other organs of the body and how lump is spread to other parts and tissues of body. The main part of the research project covers field work describing how myeloma is identified using axial tomography. Article also covers the use of Brachytherapy for the treatment of melanoma. Radiotherapy for treatment of tumors is also expressed in the article.
