Brain tumor
This document provides information on brain tumors including: - Brain tumors can be benign or malignant and originate in the brain or spread there from other areas. Common types include glioblastomas and meningiomas. - Symptoms depend on the tumor's location but can include headaches, seizures, and neurological deficits. Diagnosis involves imaging like CT/MRI along with biopsy. - Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The goal of surgery is maximal tumor resection while preserving brain function. Other therapies are used as adjuvants or for inoperable tumors.
