Show all keywords Cancer Neurosurgery Brain tumours may be malignant or benign. The symptoms caused by tumours vary depending on which part of the central nervous system the tumour is located in. The first symptom can be e.g. epileptic seizure, paralysis or any other neurological symptom. Brain tumours are diagnosed by imaging. At operation, a sample (biopsy) of the tumour is taken. The sample is examined by a pathologist. Assessment of the type of tumour is very important with regard to subsequent treatment decisions. Treatments for brain tumours include monitoring, surgery and, if necessary, radiation treatment and chemotherapy. The treatment plan is often individual.
