Oncological neurosurgery

Oncological neurosurgery is a specialized field within neurosurgery that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors and spinal tumors. Surgeons in this area perform operations to remove tumors, alleviate pressure on the brain or spinal cord, and sometimes help with the planning of other treatments like radiation or chemotherapy. Their goal is to improve patient outcomes by carefully balancing tumor removal with preserving healthy brain or spinal tissue, often involving advanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive methods to enhance safety and recovery.
