There are several treatment options for treating a brain tumor, depending on the tumor type and stage:
- Surgery
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy
Some patients receive a combination of treatments.
In addition, at any stage of disease, patients may have treatment to control pain and other symptoms of the cancer, to relieve the side effects of therapy, and to ease emotional problems. This kind of treatment is called symptom management, supportive care, or palliative care.
