Among brain diseases, tumors are the most feared and the most dangerous. A brain tumor does not necessarily mean cancer. Brain tumors range widely, from benign cystic lesions to highly malignant types. In most brain tumors, no specific cause can be identified.
Benign brain tumors usually tend to grow slowly. These tumors are not operated on until they reach a certain size. They are monitored with follow-ups every three or six months.
Malignant brain tumors, on the other hand, should be operated on as soon as possible once they are detected. The tumor tissue removed during surgery should be sent to the pathology unit and the exact type of tumor should be determined. For some tumors with a confirmed pathological diagnosis, radiotherapy or chemotherapy may be required after surgery.
