Head Tumor Symptoms
10. Treatment
As mentioned, a benign tumor is easier to treat than a malignant tumor. Depending on the specifics of the case, surgery may be performed to remove the offending tumor, but this is often not possible. Many patients will need to undergo chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy to try to destroy or slow the cancerous cells.
In some instances, there is little that can be done other than trying to treat the symptoms. Steroids are often prescribed to help reduce the swelling caused by the tumor. There is also always a chance that the tumor will return, so patients will need to return for regular check-ups.
