From diagnosis to treatment, a case-specific plan — microsurgery, neuronavigation and, when needed, stereotactic biopsy.

Send your MRI / CT and we will review the situation and your options together — a second opinion is welcome.
A brain tumor is not a single condition; type, location and symptoms shape the approach. Every case is assessed individually.
For tumors arising from brain tissue, diagnosis, surgical suitability and treatment are weighed together based on location, grade and symptoms.
For these mostly benign masses arising from the meninges, monitoring versus surgery is planned according to size, location and growth.
For pituitary tumors, hormonal and visual findings are assessed; in suitable cases an endoscopic approach is discussed together.
For lesions that spread to the brain from elsewhere, surgery, radiosurgery and monitoring are considered within the whole picture.
Some small, quiet masses thought to be benign can be followed with periodic MRI and neurological checks. Surgery — microsurgical resection with neuronavigation — or a targeted stereotactic biopsy is considered when symptoms, growth, or the need for a diagnosis require it. The aim is a safe and, where possible, complete resection; safety comes first. The right path is decided together, case by case. This page is for general information and does not replace a medical consultation.
