Brain Tumor Treatment in India — Precision Surgery & Non- Invasive Radiosurgery
A brain tumour diagnosis requires prompt access to expert neurosurgeons and advanced technology to maximise outcomes. India’s neuro-oncology centres offer complete brain tumour care — initial MRI, biopsy, surgical removal, radiation, and chemotherapy — all under internationally trained specialists. For suitable tumours, Gamma Knife and CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery destroy tumour tissue without any surgical incision, on an outpatient basis. For surgery, neuronavigation guidance, intraoperative MRI, 5-ALA fluorescence-guided surgery, and awake craniotomy ensure maximum safe tumour removal with minimal neurological impact.
