What Are Brain & Spine Tumors?
Brain and spine tumors are abnormal growths found in the brain, spinal cord, and/or surrounding tissues. Tumors are either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Both benign and malignant tumors can grow near important structures and affect the way your brain and nerves function, which is why treatment is so important.
