Treatments for Brain Tumors
Surgery
The goal of removing the tumor is to remove it completely, or to remove as much of the tumor as possible with minimal damage to healthy brain tissue around it.
Radiation Therapy
This type of therapy uses high-energy beams like X-rays to destroy the tumor cells or slow their growth.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses medication to eliminate the tumor cells. The drugs can be taken as pills or injected into a vein.
Targeted Drug Therapy
Unlike chemotherapy, targeted drug treatments only focus on the tumorous cells and spare healthy tissue.
