On World Brain Tumour Day 2026, Dr. Raghav Singhla, a senior consultant in neurosurgery at Paras Health in Gurugram, addressed common misconceptions surrounding brain tumours. He highlighted that over half of primary brain tumours are non-cancerous, meaning they grow slowly and do not spread. Contrary to popular belief, extensive research has found no solid link between mobile phone usage and an increased risk of developing brain tumours. Dr. Singhla also pointed out that while headaches are common, most are related to stress or dehydration, and only specific headache patterns, particularly those accompanied by nausea or vision changes, should raise concern. Furthermore, he reassured that a brain tumour diagnosis is not a death sentence; advancements in medical technology have significantly improved treatment outcomes, allowing many patients to lead fulfilling lives post-diagnosis. He urged individuals experiencing persistent neurological issues to seek professional medical advice rather than relying on online self-diagnosis.
