"Brain tumors can be benign or cancerous. They can be low- or high-grade, describing if they are slow- or fast-growing. They can originate in the brain, as a primary tumor, or they can spread, or metastasize, to the brain from cancer in another part of the body."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our brain tumor board meets once a week to discuss any new patient cases. During these meetings, a diverse set of specialists from all areas of neurology and cancer care come together to determine the right treatment plan for each patient. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation that can lead to a more effective treatment.
-
The extent of your recovery will depend on the type of brain tumor you have and its location. Most patients will stay in the hospital for two to five days, and we aim to get you mobile as soon as possible after surgery. Your recovery will include pain management and may also include some rehabilitation, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy.
