Brain Tumor Surgery
Surgery is the first and most common treatment for most people with brain tumors. The goals of the surgery could include:
- Complete removal (resection) of the brain tumor
- Partial removal of tumors near sensitive areas of the brain to relieve symptoms and facilitate or increase the effectiveness of other treatments. Less pressure within the skull can mean reduced symptoms and improved ability to function (for example, to think, speak or see better).
- A biopsy — a surgical procedure to remove a small sample of a brain tumor for examination under a microscope — is usually performed during surgery to remove the tumor. A biopsy can be performed as a separate procedure if the tumor can’t be removed without damaging critical parts of the brain or if the patient is otherwise not a candidate for surgery. A biopsy enables doctors to confirm the diagnosis (including tumor type, malignancy and grade) and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
