Disease/Condition Glossary
Brain Tumors: It is a serious condition where the cells (cancerous or non-cancerous) grow abnormally in the brain. A tumor is defined as the formation of solid mass tissue due to the abnormal growth of cells. There are different types of brain tumors which can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Carstim 100 mg Combipack Injection 1's is used in the treatment of glioblastoma (a malignant tumor that occurs in the brain and spinal cord), brainstem glioma (a tumor that affects the brain stem of the CNS), medulloblastoma (a cancerous tumor that mostly occurs in children affecting the cerebellum (lower back part of the brain)), astrocytoma (growth of cells in astrocytes which support and connect nerve cells), ependymoma (a tumor that occurs outside the CNS or within the brain parenchyma, and metastatic brain tumors.
Hodgkin’s Disease: Hodgkin’s disease or lymphoma is a blood cancer of a certain type of cells called WBCs, specifically lymphocytes. Lymphocytes normally help control infection and maintain the body's normal immunity. However, in a cancerous state, there is an abnormal multiplication of these blood cells, causing many problems such as fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, itching, night sweats and lymph node swelling.
Multiple myeloma: It is a type of cancerous tumor that affects the plasma cells of the bone marrow. These cells collect in the bone marrow and divide uncontrollably, leading to kidney and bone damage. Symptoms include bone pain, loss of appetite, fever, and frequent infections. Generally, multiple myeloma cannot be cured, but the signs and symptoms can be reduced greatly or disappear after a period of time.
