Methods of Treatment

People with brain cancer has several treatment options. One treatment is surgery which is the usual treatment for most brain tumors. The surgery involves opening up the skull and removing most if not all of the tumor. Another method is radiation therapy. It uses high-energy rays to kill tumor cells. The radiation may come from x-rays, gamma rays, or protons. Another method of treating brain cancer is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill tumor cells.  The drug will enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the body.
