Brain & Spine Tumor
Brain & Spine Tumor treatment focuses on removing or reducing tumors affecting the brain, spinal cord, and surrounding structures while preserving healthy tissue and neurological function. Dr. Rahul Prasad uses advanced microsurgical techniques, precise imaging, and modern technology to provide safe, accurate treatment with the goal of improving symptoms and quality of life.
What is Brain & Spine Tumor Surgery?
Brain and spine tumors are abnormal growths that develop within or near the brain, spinal cord, or vertebral column. They may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can press on delicate nerves and tissue, causing a range of symptoms. Surgery is performed to remove or reduce the tumor, relieve pressure, restore function, and obtain tissue for accurate diagnosis. The approach depends on the tumor’s size, type, and location.
