Abstract

Brain tumors are a relatively common cancer in all age groups, and the incidence of both primary and metastatic brain tumors is increasing. Fortunately, dramatic advances in methods of diagnosis, surgical technique, and adjuvant therapy have all contributed to an improved outlook for patients with brain tumors. This article reviews the classification, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of brain tumors.
