Unlike tumors in many other areas of the body, both cancerous and noncancerous brain tumors can cause serious health concerns because of where they develop. As a tumor grows, it may affect nearby brain tissue and interfere with normal function.
Brain and spinal cord tumors can also differ between adults and children, including where they form, the types of cells involved and how they may respond to treatment. Each diagnosis is different, making an individualized approach to care important.
Treatment for brain and spinal cord tumors may involve several types of care and specialists, depending on the individual diagnosis and treatment plan.
