Frequently Asked Questions

Neuro-oncology is a super-specialty focusing on tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. It integrates neurosurgery, oncology, and radiation therapy for comprehensive cancer management.

Headaches, seizures, weakness or numbness in limbs, vision or speech problems, balance issues, and changes in memory or personality can be warning signs.

Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. In some cases, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are also used.

Some tumors are completely curable with surgery, while others can be controlled with multimodal therapy. Advances in precision oncology have significantly improved survival and quality of life.

We provide rehabilitation, psychological counseling, pain management, and long-term follow-up care to help patients regain independence and maintain a good quality of life.
