What To Expect After The Diagnosis Of A Brain Tumor That Requires Surgery
In some cases, a brain tumor might be found during imaging for another condition, or your doctors might suspect a tumor based on symptoms. Once it is determined there is a tumor, the next steps for diagnosis and treatment are the most critical.
Further Testing
If your tumor was identified after a CT scan, you will need a MRI for better visualization of the tumor. Fortunately, specialists have a good idea what type of tumor they are dealing with based on imaging, but it does not mean further testing is not necessary before deciding on a treatment approach.
