Neuro Oncology
Neuro Oncology is a branch of medicine that concerns cancers of the brain , spinal cord & peripheral nerves. Cancers of the nervous system are often severe conditions that eventually become life threatening.
Cancers of the nervous system may occur as primary tumors or as secondary or metastatic tumors that arise due to cancer that has spread from another part of the body. Primary tumors can occur at any age but they often affect people while they are in their prime. Most primary cancers are more common among males than females, although meningiomas are more common among females. Secondary tumors can spread to the nervous system from another site of origin through metastasis, compression or direct invasion.
