What Are Brain Tumors?
Brain tumors form when abnormal cells grow in or near the brain. These tumors can be non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant), but both require careful evaluation and treatment.

We believe every patient deserves clear information and expert guidance to help them feel confident in their care.
