What Are Tumours?

Tumours can be found all over the body and come in all sizes.

The LOC is the top private tumour clinic in the UK. We have a number of dedicated consultants at hand to help combat the problems that come with any tumour, no matter where it’s located.

There are four main kinds of tumours. Neuroendocrine tumours are those which those which effect the neuroendocrine system (this is what regulates the function between organs in the body). Spinal cord tumours are referred to as CNS tumours as they attack the central nervous system. Roughly 4,700 people are diagnosed with these kinds of tumours every year.

Brain tumours are a band in themselves in that they can attack certain cells in the brain, whether it’s a giloma on the brain’s supporting cel s, meningioma that attack the membrand cells covering the brain, or medulloblastoma which are the most type of brain tumour in children, there are numerous types that all attack the brain.

Endocrine tumours attack the glands which regulate hormones around the body, affecting how much adrenaline the body can get and disrupt the pituitary gland that sits directly underneath the brain.

At the LOC our consultants help treat everyone with using the best private tumour treatments available in the world, no matter where on the body the tumour lies.
