neuro-oncology treatment guidelines

Neuro-oncology treatment guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for managing brain and spinal cord tumors. They typically involve a combination of approaches such as surgery to remove or biopsy the tumor, radiation therapy to target cancer cells, and chemotherapy to destroy remaining cancer. The choice of treatment depends on tumor type, location, size, and patient health. Guidelines also emphasize supportive care for symptoms and side effects, as well as regular follow-up imaging to monitor for recurrence. The goal is to maximize tumor control and patient quality of life while minimizing risks and complications.
