system: How can internal or implant radiation help with treating brain cancer?
output: Internal or implant radiation uses a tiny radioactive capsule that is placed inside the tumor itself. The radiation emitted from the capsule destroys the tumor. The radioactivity of the capsule decreases a little bit each day and is carefully calculated to run out when the optimal dose has been given. You need to stay in the hospital for several days while receiving this treatment.
system: How can stereotactic radiosurgery help with treating brain cancer?
output: Stereotactic radiosurgery is sometimes called a "knifeless" surgical technique, though it does not involve surgery. It destroys a brain tumor without opening the skull. A CT or MRI scan is used to pinpoint the exact location of the tumor in the brain. A single large dose of high-energy radiation beams are trained on the tumor from different angles. The radiation destroys the tumor. Stereotactic radiosurgery has fewer complications than open surgery and a shorter recovery time.
system: What is the purpose of surgery for brain cancer?
output: Many people with a brain tumor undergo surgery. The purpose of surgery is to confirm that the abnormality seen during testing is indeed a tumor and to remove the tumor. If the tumor cannot be removed, the surgeon will take a sample of the tumor to identify its type. In some cases, mostly in benign tumors, symptoms can be completely cured by surgical removal of the tumor. The neurosurgeon will attempt to remove all the tumor when possible.
system: How can external radiation help with treating brain cancer?
output: Radiation can be given in the following ways: External radiation uses a high-energy beam of radiation targeted at the tumor. The beam travels through the skin, the skull, healthy brain tissue, and other tissues to get to the tumor. The treatments are usually given five days a week for a certain amount of time. Each treatment takes only a few minutes.
system: What treatments and procedures will I undergo before going through surgery for brain cancer?
output: For example: You may be given a steroid drug, such as dexamethasone ( Decadron), to relieve swelling. You may be treated with an anticonvulsant drug to relieve or prevent seizures. If you have excess cerebrospinal fluid collecting around the brain, a thin, plastic tube called a shunt may be placed to drain the fluid.
system: What's the treatment for brain cancer?
output: Treatment of brain cancer is usually complex. The treatment protocols vary widely according to the location of the tumor, its size and type, your age, and any additional medical problems that you may have.

system: What are the differences in men and women with multiple sclerosis?
output: In terms of all types of MS, at least twice as many women as men have the condition. But the ratio may be rising even higher. Some recent estimates place the number at 4 to 1 -- and suggest it is still going up. And ladies are more likely to have their first symptoms at younger ages. Three women for every man got MS before age 20.
system: When does multiple sclerosis normally affect women?
output: Multiple sclerosis doesn't hit all women at the same time in life. But it almost always begins before menopause. Symptoms often get worse after childbirth or at the end of a menstrual cycle.

system: When do men normally contract multiple sclerosis?
output: MS in men is usually worse than in women.
system: What are the differences in the symptoms of primary progressive multiple sclerosis between men and women?
output: MS in men is usually worse than in women. But large studies of primary progressive MS show: Early on, the symptoms were just as severe and got worse just as fast for men as for women. After about 20 years of living with primary progressive MS, men's disease finally began to "outrun" the women's in terms of how bad their symptoms were. Why the differences? At this point, there are more questions than answers. Sex hormones may be one reason. Scientists are also studying clues in the body chemistry and brains of people with the condition. But research into this form of MS is only beginning.
