Understanding Brain Tumour Care
Brain tumours may be benign or malignant, and each case requires careful review of symptoms, neurological findings, MRI characteristics, tumour location, and overall health. The first goal is to understand whether observation, biopsy, surgery, oncology referral, or combined care is needed.
Surgical Planning
When surgery is required, planning focuses on safe tumour removal while protecting speech, movement, memory, vision, and other neurological functions. Families receive clear counselling about the procedure, risks, recovery, and follow-up scan schedule.
