Present Technology

Here are some present day treatments for brain tumors:

Surgery

Surgery is when surgeons
cut open your head and
remove the brain tumor.

Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is a
treatment with high-
energy rays that kills or
shrinks cancer cells.

Radiosurgery

Radiosurgery is precise
delivery of radiation to the
brain tumor.  The radiation
from the computer kills the
brain tumor.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is when you
use anti-cancer drugs to
treat cancerous cells.

slipped! By the way, your recovery time
will be about 8-10 weeks. HaHaHaHa!
