RAWF Offers Complimentary Copies of Hungry for Solutions to Brain Tumor Patients Suffering from Hypothalamic Obesity
Hypothalamic Obesity (HO) can be a devastating co-morbidity of brain tumors around the pituitary/hypothalamic axis. The condition can mean uncontrollable hunger and weight gain in patients due to damage to the hypothalamus which acts as the control center for our hunger and thirst. When this mechanism is damaged, the body can be tricked into starvation mode, making the patient constantly hungry and storing calories as fat.
