There is still a lack of sufficient awareness about brain tumours among the public, which often leads to delayed diagnosis and hampers timely treatment. Considering the growing number of brain tumour cases, large-scale awareness is urgently needed, says Dr. Kartik Multani, Brain Tumour Surgery Specialist at Wockhardt Hospitals, Nagpur, and a Neuro-Oncology Fellowship holder from Tata Memorial Hospital.
Dr. Multani stated that symptoms like persistent headaches, vomiting, seizures, blurred vision, slurred speech, or weakness in the limbs are often misunderstood as common issues and therefore ignored. However, whether a tumour is benign or malignant, early diagnosis followed by surgery using modern technology can result in a successful outcome.
Since the symptoms of brain tumours often resemble those of common illnesses, patients tend to delay visiting a doctor. Wockhardt Hospitals, Nagpur, emphasized that if symptoms such as frequent headaches, unexplained vomiting, seizures, personality or speech changes, stammering, or imbalance appear, an MRI and consultation with a neurosurgeon are essential.
At Wockhardt Hospitals, under the leadership of Dr. Kartik Multani, advanced surgical tools are used for brain tumour procedures. These includes Intraoperative Ultrasound – for real-time guidance during surgery, Fluorescein-Guided Surgery – to distinguish tumour cells from normal ones, Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) – to protect critical areas of the brain and Endoscopic Tumour Resection for minimally invasive surgery and faster recovery.
Vidarbha’s Only Neuro-Oncology Fellowship-Trained Doctor
Dr. Kartik Multani is the only neurosurgeon in Vidarbha and Central India who has received specialized training in Neuro-Oncology from Tata Memorial Hospital. This allows him to perform complex brain tumour surgeries with high precision and safety.
Many patients fear undergoing treatment for brain tumours, and there are several myths in society regarding the condition. However, according to Dr. Multani, awareness and early diagnosis can save lives and lead to more effective treatment.
Acknowledging the seriousness of brain tumours, Wockhardt Hospitals offers compassionate and advanced treatment through a team of specialists equipped with modern technology. All essential facilities are available 24×7 at Wockhardt Hospitals, Nagpur.
