𝗦𝗸𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝘂𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 🧠⚠️

A skull base tumour diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but here’s a key fact: most skull base tumours are benign. So why is it challenging to treat?

While they are non-cancerous, the reason it requires highly specialised surgical skills & post-operation care is the fact that these tumours are located at the back of your brain, where it is intertwined with critical nerves and major blood vessels.

In this video, our Consultant Neurosurgeon, Dr Vickneswaran Mathaneswaran, explains Skull Base Tumours in a minute. He explains why their location demands a sophisticated, multi-disciplinary approach to protect your vital neurological functions, and outlines the comprehensive treatment pathways available—from careful monitoring if the tumour is small to minimally invasive brain tumour removal surgery if necessary.

𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗮’𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆

When Angela felt a lump in her left breast, she didn’t wait — she got it checked. The diagnosis: Stage 2 Breast Cancer.

Her treatment plan included surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. But what truly made a difference was SJMC’s advanced targeted radiotherapy using the Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) technique and the ExacTrac Dynamic system.

Angela was surprised by how quick and comfortable the session was — she could go home the same day. But more importantly, the technology ensured her treatment was precise and safe. The ExacTrac Dynamic tracked her tumour’s position in real-time, automatically pausing the radiation if her breath hold was out of range. This technique protected her heart and healthy tissues while delivering powerful, targeted radiation.

“SJMC’s treatments gave me hope and a path forward. I’m deeply grateful for the people who stood by me through every step.” – Angela Chin

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s remind our loved ones: early detection saves lives, and effective treatment brings hope.

❌ NOT TRUE!

Most scoliosis cases are diagnosed as idiopathic scoliosis, meaning the cause is unknown and not due to poor posture.

Scoliosis is a progressive spinal condition that can worsen over time, potentially leading to chronic pain and mobility issues. A mild curve today may have a greater impact later in life.

If you or your loved ones notice uneven posture, it could be a sign of scoliosis. Early assessment is key. Swipe through to learn about the types of scoliosis & how to manage it. ➡️
