Dr. Cerullo talks about ways to look at the brain in preparation for treatment.
Surgery for brain tumors today is a lot safer, efficient and effective than it was only about 30 years ago. One of the major reasons is due to better imaging which enables physicians to see exactly where the tumor is as well as allow for 3 dimensional views of the brain.
Dr. Gail Rosseau, CINN neurosurgeon, reviews the incidence, symptoms, diagnostic tools and treatment options for glioblastomas. She also discusses current areas of research which will hopefully enhance the future survival associated with these aggressive brain tumors.
Dr. Len Cerullo, CINN Medical Director and Neurosurgeon, discusses the most common signs and symptoms of brain tumors. These symptoms are as variable as the parts of the brain where tumors may present. Symptoms of brain tumors may include dizziness, weakness, seizures, behavior changes, headaches in rare cases and other neurologic deficits. Dr. Cerullo’s experience spans over twenty-five years of treating patients with brain tumors at one of the largest and most comprehensive neurosurgical practices in the country.
