The symptoms of a brain tumor depend on the type of tumor, its location in the brain, its size, and how quickly it is growing.
Diagnosing Brain Tumors
When a tumor is suspected, a brain MRI must be carried out to visualize the affected area of the brain, determine the size of the lesion, and understand the nature of the tumor.
However, a definitive diagnosis requires the removal of a tumor fragment, either through direct excision of the brain tumor, and therefore the complete or partial removal of the tumor if this is possible based on its type and characteristics assessed by MRI, or through a simple biopsy in other cases.
