Type of brain: Tumor is critical. A meningioma and glioblastoma have different outlooks, and different treatment. Gamma knife and srs precision high dose radiotherapy applies to metastases best, and works poorly in high grade gliomas. Seek a team that does all of these, and listens to your concerns, and balances your options, benefits and risks.
