What is brain tumer?
A brain tumour is essentially brain cancer, a growth that develops on or within the brain that can either be benign or malignant. There are a huge variety of brain tumours, and their level of seriousness depends entirely upon where they are located and how advanced they have become. Most tumours that grow on the outside surface of the brain, and even some that grow inside it, can be removed surgically. Some of those that cannot be surgically removed can be treated with either chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of the two. Even if a complete cure is not possible in these cases, it can sometimes be possible to retard the growth of the tumour and prolong the life of the patient. So although some brain tumours are incurable and can be fatal, these are nowadays in a minority- the majority of brain tumours can be succesfully treated.
