Neuro-oncology diagnoses and treats brain and nervous system cancers, both malignant and benign. Neuro-oncology treatment depends on tumor kind, location, size, grade, and patient health. Common treatments include:

Brain tumor treatment usually begins with surgery.

The goal is to remove as much tumor as possible without damaging healthy tissue. Surgery can cure some benign tumors and provide tissue samples for investigation.

Radiation therapy:

High-energy radiation targeted to the tumor kills or slows cancer cells. Brachytherapy involves inserting radioactive material near the tumor, while external beam radiation uses a machine. Surgery and chemotherapy often accompany

Chemotherapy:

Drugs kill or slow cancer cells. Oral or intravenous chemotherapy might be used with other treatments. New targeted and immunotherapies are being explored and used to treat particular brain cancers.

Stereotactic radiosurgery:

This non-invasive method uses highly concentrated radiation beams to target the tumor and minimize exposure to healthy tissue. It’s utilized for tiny tumors or when surgery isn’t possible.

Immunotherapy:

It activates the immune system to fight cancer cells. Immunotherapy can be used alone or with additional brain tumor treatments.
