### Schwannoma Tumor or Cancerous Tumor Can Be Prevented in Its Early Stage with Unani Medicine: Dr. Liaqat Ali Mansoori

Schwannoma is a tumor that develops from Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system or nerve roots. These tumors are typically benign (non-cancerous) and grow slowly. The most common type is vestibular schwannoma, which forms on a nerve in the inner ear. However, in some cases, schwannomas can be malignant (cancerous). Although the exact cause remains unknown, vestibular schwannomas and brain tumors are the most prevalent types of this condition.

### Common Types of Schwannoma:

1. **Vestibular Schwannoma Tumor**
Also known as acoustic neuroma, vestibular schwannoma develops from the balance and auditory nerves that supply the inner ear. This tumor is typically benign and slow-growing. As it enlarges, it may affect hearing and balance, causing symptoms like hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), and dizziness.

2. **Brain Schwannoma Tumor**
This type of tumor can form not only in the brain but anywhere in the body, as schwannomas originate from Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, which are present throughout the body and the brain.

### Symptoms of Schwannoma:
Schwannomas grow slowly and may exist for years without causing noticeable symptoms. Some common symptoms include:
- A visible lump that may feel tender when pressed
- Numbness, muscle weakness, or a pins-and-needles sensation
- Pain that can be burning or sharp
- Vestibular schwannomas can affect hearing and balance, and cause ringing in the ear (tinnitus)
- Tumors near the facial nerve can impair swallowing, eye movement, taste sensation, or cause facial paralysis
- Sciatic schwannoma can mimic symptoms of disc herniation, with lower back pain radiating down the leg.

### Diagnostic Tests for Schwannoma:
1. MRI
2. CT Scan
3. Ultrasound
4. Biopsy

### Management and Treatment with Herbal Unani Medicine:
1. The treatment for schwannoma depends on its location in the body and the rate at which it is growing.

Consultation with an experienced Unani physician is necessary for proper treatment.

2. Surgery
3. Radiation Therapy
4. Treatment for malignant (cancerous) schwannoma involves immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
