According to Cancer.Net, both low- and high-grade brain tumors usually require surgery. How much treatment is needed can depend on the size, grade, and type of tumor and whether the tumor is pressing on the brain. After recovering from the initial surgery, sometimes a patient will require radiation and chemotherapy. This can depend on the results of a biopsy performed during the surgery. Once the tumor is no longer detected, a patient will need to get regular screenings because brain tumor recurrences are common.
Not all brain tumors are cancerous, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. That doesn’t make them less dangerous. Brain tumors can create pressure on the brain or spread into the spine. The location of the brain tumor can present different symptoms, such as problems with walking or vision. Someone with a brain tumor could experience headaches, seizures, personality changes, or loss of balance.
