Organises interactive session to discuss various aspects of brain tumour management
Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences (RTIICS), recently concluded the ‘World Brain Tumor Awareness Month’ by organising an interactive session to discuss various aspects of brain tumour management. The session saw participation of more than 150 people including brain tumour survivors, their relatives and a panel of doctors from neurology, neuro-surgery and oncology department at the hospital.
During the interactive session between patients and doctors, discussions were held on types of brain tumour and the treatment options. Doctors also advised restricted use of mobile phones.
R Venkatesh, Zonal Director (East), Narayana Health said, “We at RTIICS offer the best technology along with experienced doctors for a comprehensive treatment. We create support groups for people who have undergone various types of surgeries and treatment at our hospital. This is one such initiative where doctors, survivors and patients get to interact with each other for knowledge sharing.”
Dr Kaushik Sil, Consultant Neurosurgeon, RTIICS, said, “With the advancement in technology, brain tumours which were not curable earlier are mostly curable today and that too without open skull surgeries. The advent of minimally invasive surgeries have made procedures much safer and less complicated with bare minimum hospital stay.”
