Brain Tumors treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Brain tumors are growths of abnormal cells within the brain or nearby structures. They can be benign or malignant, and can originate in the brain tissue itself or come from another part of the body.

Common symptoms: Depending on their location and size, they may cause a persistent headache or one that changes in pattern, nausea, seizures, vision changes, speech difficulties, or changes in balance and behavior.

When to see a doctor? It is reasonable to seek an evaluation in the face of new or worsening headaches, seizures, or neurological changes that have no explanation.

Which specialist treats them? The management is usually multidisciplinary; the radiation oncologist and the radiation therapist get involved when radiation therapy is required. If persistent neurological symptoms appear, discussing them with a professional makes it possible to guide the appropriate studies.
