About this Treatment: Surgery for Glioma, Glioblastoma, & Astrocytoma
Brain Tumors Treated with Surgery
Surgery is a primary treatment option for many glioma brain tumor types, whether the tumors are slow-growing or more aggressive.
Sometimes, gliomas are in areas of the brain that prevent surgeons from removing the tumors fully. Removing even some of the tumor can reduce symptoms and allow you to move forward with other types of treatment.
