Brain Tumor

   It is one of the most serious diseases in Pakistan. Brain tumors have one of
the lowest survival rates of all types of cancer but unfortunately, still,
there is no treatment for this disease and no well-qualified doctor to treat
patients with brain tumors in Pakistan. Besides this, most brain tumor happens
when brain cell change in DNA, and men are more likely than women to
develop brain tumor. It is mostly common in children between the ages of 5 and
8. Furthermore, it causes vomiting, personality changes, muscle weakness, and
problems with learning or memory. 

   A patient with a brain tumor cannot live more
than one year. Surgical removal by and large is the most effective treatment of
brain tumors. With early treatment, more than 85% of patients survive for 5
years, and when it is in the last stage the survival chances will be less than
40% when it is in the first stage. Brain tumor patients mostly have
a headache, feeling or being sick, and seizures. The rate of brain tumors
is increasing day by day. Finally, it is my humble request to the government of
Pakistan to bring well-qualified doctors to treat this disease.
