My partners mri showed tumor in left temple. 15mm. is surgery only option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you mean: The brain, in that temple describes an external area overlying the brain, removal tells you what it is, but somethings of this size may not be cancer. You should seek options and "what else could it be" appraisal rather than alternatives to the standard.
