Brain tumours are abnormal growths of cells within the brain or its surrounding structures. They may be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary/metastatic (spreading from cancers elsewhere in the body such as the lung, breast, or kidney). Common primary brain tumours include gliomas (including glioblastoma), meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, and pituitary adenomas.

Dr. Wagh is a surgical oncologist who coordinates the oncological management of patients with brain tumours, particularly those with metastatic disease. Brain surgery is performed in collaboration with neurosurgeons at Manipal Hospital, Baner.
A brain metastasis is a secondary tumour that has spread from a primary cancer elsewhere in the body (such as lung, breast, or melanoma) to the brain. It requires both local brain treatment and systemic cancer management.
Yes. Small brain tumours or brain metastases can be treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma Knife, CyberKnife), a non-invasive radiation technique that delivers precise high-dose radiation to the tumour.
The exact cause of most primary brain tumours is unknown. Genetic conditions (like neurofibromatosis), prior radiation exposure, and immunosuppression are known risk factors. Metastatic brain tumours arise from cancer spread from other organs.
