Expert treatment for different types of brain tumors, focusing on improving outcomes and quality of life. Tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can arise from the brain itself (primary) or spread from other parts of the body (secondary or metastatic).
Primary Brain Tumors: Originate in the brain (e.g., gliomas, meningiomas).
Secondary (Metastatic) Brain Tumors: Spread from cancers elsewhere (e.g., lung, breast).
Gliomas (most common primary tumors)
Astrocytoma (includes glioblastoma)
Oligodendroglioma
Ependymoma
Meningioma
Medulloblastoma (mostly in children)
Pituitary adenoma
Schwannoma (e.g., acoustic neuroma)
Craniopharyngioma
Lymphoma of the CNS
Grade I: Slow-growing, non-malignant
Grade II: Low-grade, may recur
Grade III: Malignant, fast-growing
Grade IV: Highly malignant (e.g., glioblastoma)
