Are brain tumors curable?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Depending on the type of tumor and location, brain tumors can be treatable and/or curable, but often the treatment is difficult and true cure is not attained. Typical treatment involves some combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Some are: There are many different types of brain tumors and there are cancers that spread to the brain. The age of a patient, type of tumor and grade and stage will be needed to say how often or if a brain tumor is cureable.
