Many patients require follow-up radiation or chemotherapy depending on the tumor type and whether it was fully or partially removed; your neuro-oncology team will guide this.

How long is recovery after brain surgery?

Full recovery generally takes 4-6 weeks, though regaining full function may take longer depending on which brain areas were affected.

Can all brain tumors be completely removed?

Not always — tumors near critical structures may only allow partial removal to preserve function, and your neurosurgeon will discuss the safest achievable extent of resection for your specific case.
