Brain tumors are comprehensive and complex, so covering details in one article is impossible. But when you or someone you love faces this diagnosis, awareness and essential knowledge can go a long way and even might be a lifesaver.

Presenting in four short parts, I have distilled the essential information to give you a solid starting point summarizing vital knowledge to help you understand tumor types, ask the right questions, and have meaningful conversations with your doctors for diagnosis and treatment.

The brain is the most complex organ, managing all other organs. So, the health and disease of the brain can affect our cells, tissues, organs, and systems. I wrote many articles about brain health and risk factors for neurocognitive disorders.
