Can you live 10 years with a brain tumor without treatment?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Certainly...: ...If it's a very slow growing tumor like a meningioma. If it's an aggressive, malignant tumor like a glioblastoma multiforme, no.

Brain tumor: Living 10 years is totally based on the type of tumor found - a small number of brain tumors can be very slow growing and 10 years without treatment a possibility but i must say this is rather rare.
