Tumors

Tumour symptoms vary depending on size, location, and whether the growth is benign or malignant. Common signs include a new lump, fatigue, fever, night sweats, pain or unexplained weight loss. Certain tumours may not produce noticeable symptoms during the early stages.

Tumour diagnosis begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination. Doctors evaluate symptoms like lumps, pain or unexplained weight loss. Imaging tests and blood tests help identify abnormal growths. A biopsy confirms whether the tumour is benign or malignant. Manipal Hospitals provides expert diagnostic evaluation for tumour care.

Treatment approaches for tumours vary based on their nature, size and location. Benign tumours may need monitoring or surgical removal if symptomatic. Malignant tumours may require surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy or targeted therapy. Manipal Hospitals provides personalised tumour care.

Care for tumour conditions at Manipal Hospitals starts with a detailed consultation and clinical assessment. Specialists review medical history, symptoms and risk factors. A thorough physical examination is performed. Imaging tests and blood investigations may be advised to evaluate the growth. A biopsy is conducted when required to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether the tumour is benign, malignant or precancerous.

Once results are available, a personalised care plan is developed. The team explains suitable options, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy or targeted therapy.
