Size and location: Size of the tumor and location of the tumor as well as the type of tumor dictates the riskiness of the operation to remove it. An experienced neurosurgeon can review these risks, benefits and options of surgery. Noting your location, there are several excellent surgeons in your area.

Depends : Brain tumors are like real estate, it's all about location. Another factor is size as well as type of tumor. You should review the risks and benefits specific to you and your tumor with your neurosurgeon.
