WHAT IS Brain Tumor?

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in or around the brain. Some are benign (non-cancerous), while others are malignant (cancerous), but both can disrupt brain function by compressing surrounding structures. Brain tumors can originate in the brain (primary) or spread from other areas of the body (metastatic).

Common Symptoms of Brain Tumors

Symptoms vary widely depending on the tumor’s location, size, and rate of growth. Common signs may include:

  • Persistent or worsening headaches
  • Seizures or convulsions
  • Vision or hearing changes
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Memory problems or personality changes
  • Weakness or numbness in limbs
  • Difficulty with speech or balance

If you are experiencing these symptoms, prompt evaluation is key.

How Are Brain Tumors Treated?

Treatment depends on the tumor’s type, size, location, and whether it's cancerous. Dr. Yashar partners with neuro-oncology specialists, radiologists, and other experts to create comprehensive care plans tailored to your condition.

Non-surgical options may include:

  • Active surveillance for slow-growing tumors
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery (e.g., Gamma Knife)
  • Chemotherapy or radiation therapy for malignant tumors

When surgery is recommended, Dr. Yashar offers:

  • Minimally invasive craniotomy using smaller openings to access tumors safely
  • Endoscopic brain surgery for tumors near the skull base or ventricles
  • Intraoperative imaging and navigation to enhance precision and preserve healthy brain tissue
  • Awake craniotomy in select cases to monitor function in real time during surgery

All procedures are performed with a focus on reducing complications, preserving brain function, and optimizing recovery.
