Advancements in Brain Tumor Treatment

Diagnosed in approximately 25,000 adults in the United States each year, the words “brain tumor” can be frightening for many patients to hear. A brain tumor is a mass of tissue formed by abnormal cells and symptoms can vary depending on its size, type and location.
