When detected early, brain and spine tumors respond well to specializedsurgical removal. However, tumors located on sensitive, hard-to-reach areas require different options, such asradiation therapyorchemotherapyto shrink the tumor and destroy lingering cancer cells. ...
Tumor removal by surgery. The patient should be otherwise relatively healthy, and brain function, speech, and mobility is able to be maintained. Imaging techniques such cortical mapping and functionalMRImay be used to assist the surgeon in removing the tumor. The goal is to remove as much of ...
