Overview of Brain Tumor Treatment
The first step in treating a suspected brain tumor involves making or confirming the diagnosis.

Gliomas
The most common type of primary brain tumor, glioma, actually comprises a spectrum of tumor types and behavior.

Meningiomas
Meningiomas grow outside the brain and can cause difficulty with vision, hearing, movement and sensation of the face, tongue, and throat, as well as a variety of other problems.

Pituitary Adenomas
Tumors of the pituitary gland comprise a unique category of intracranial tumors even though strictly speaking they are not actually brain tumors at all.

Metastatic Tumors
Tumors that spread to the brain from cancer at distant sites in the body are called brain metastases or metastatic brain tumors.

Acoustic Neuromas
Acoustic neuromas are benign tumors that involve the nerves responsible for facial movement, hearing, and balance.

Other Brain Tumors
Other types of brain tumors include craniopharyngiomas, medulloblastomas, and hemangioblastomas.
