When a brain tumor is diagnosed, careful assessment of the brain regions near the tumor is important, especially if brain surgery is required.
Can brain tumors cause memory loss?
Un tumor cerebral puede provocar pérdida de memoria, sobre todo aquellos localizados en la región temporal medial y en la región frontal dorsolateral; sin embargo, no es un síntoma específico de esta patología. Otras agravantes como la quimioterapia o los fármacos anti-epilépticos pueden contribuir.
Is brain tumor surgery safe?
The decision to operate on a brain tumor will depend on several causes, among them:
- Size of the lesion
- Location
- The relationship with other neighboring brain structures.
Will I need further treatment after surgery?
It will depend on the type of tumor. Some brain tumors will require complete treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, while others will only require follow-up imaging tests.
