Brain Tumor Pathology

Brain tumor pathology refers to the study of brain tumors, which are abnormal growths of cells in the brain. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and can arise from different types of brain cells. Pathologists examine tumor samples to determine the type, grade, and characteristics of the tumor, which helps guide treatment decisions. Common symptoms of brain tumors include headaches, seizures, and cognitive changes. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial in managing brain tumors, as they can affect brain function depending on their size and location.
