Neurological Tumors Treatment

The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. Nervous system (NS) tumors can develop in either the brain or spinal cord.

A tumor is an abnormal growth of body tissue. Tumors are either benign (do not spread to other tissues or parts of the body) or malignant (cancerous tumors that invade other tissues and parts of the body).

Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder in which tumors form on the nerves of the brain and spine (the central nervous system).

In general, tumors appear to occur when there is a problem with the dividing of cells in the body. Typically, the division of cells in the body is strictly controlled. New cells are created to replace older ones or to perform new functions. Cells that are damaged or no longer needed die to make room for healthy replacements.
