Surgery is a common treatment for many types of brain tumors. Surgery is often the first treatment for most types of brain tumors. For some slow-growing tumors, it may be the only treatment needed. But for other brain tumors, surgery might be followed by other treatments like radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
There are several types of surgery for a brain tumor. The type of surgery done will depend on:- What type of tumor it appears to be, based on imaging tests like MRI
- The size and location of the tumor
- Whether the tumor is causing pressure on vital areas of the brain
- Whether the neurosurgeon thinks the tumor can be removed fully
