The World's Top Centers for Complex Brain Tumor Research and Innovation
Complex Brain Tumor Surgery Complex brain tumor surgery refers to neurosurgical procedures undertaken to remove tumors that are challenging due to their size, location, proximity to critical brain structures, or infiltrative nature . These operations often demand a high degree of precision, specialized technology , and a multidisciplinary team approach to maximize tumor removal while preserving neurological function. Key Challenges in Complex Cases Challenge Description Location Tumors situated in or near eloquent areas (brain regions responsible for vital functions like movement, speech, and sensation) or deep, difficult-to-access locations (e.g., brainstem, skull base). Tumor Characteristics Large size , high-grade malignancy (aggressive and fast-growing), highly vascular (many blood vessels), or infiltrative margins (blending into normal brain tissue). Patient Condition Elderly patients or those with significant comorbidities (other medical conditions) may tolerat...
