Dr. Le Trong Nghia - Department of Neurology and surgery - City International Hospital shared, brain tumors can be benign and malignant. Brain tumors need to be examined by a neurologist and a brain magnetic resonance scan to diagnose brain tumors.

There are also other methods such as navigation navigation to help pinpoint the location, find the best surgical path, and help manipulate the exact tumor location. In addition, ultrasound can be used to remove tumors, Dr. Nghia stressed.
