BRAIN CANCER TREATMENT 

The treatment for a Brain Tumor will depend on many things, including the type, size and location of the tumor, as well as your symptoms, general health and treatment preferences. The main treatment options for a brain tumor include:

Brain Tumor Surgery

Surgery is the most common treatment for brain tumors, and in a lot of cases it’s the only treatment needed. There are numerous surgical approaches to remove brain tumors depending on their size and location.

Learn more about brain tumor surgery or explore the various procedures:

Craniotomy: the temporary removal of a piece of skull to allow surgeons access to the brain.

Awake brain tumor surgery: Patients are kept sedated and comfortable — but awake — during surgery so doctors can ensure normal brain function is unaffected.

Neuroendoscopy: Surgeons enter the brain through other parts of the body, like the nose, to better reach certain regions and minimize scarring.

MRI-guided laser ablation and laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT): Radiologists and neurosurgeons use computer technology and intraoperative imaging to locate a tumor and precisely destroy the cancerous cells with lasers or heat.

Biopsy: Doctors take a small sample of brain tumor tissue to examine under a microscope.

Neuroplastic surgery: This neurosurgical approach preserves and restores skull appearance and anatomy after invasive procedures.
