Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need chemotherapy or radiation after surgery?

This depends entirely on the type and grade of the tumor, which is determined after the biopsy. Many malignant tumors require post-operative treatments.

Will my head be shaved?

Modern neurosurgery often requires only a small section of hair to be shaved along the incision line, though this varies by the exact location.
