What Else Can Be Done If A Third Of Brain Tumor Could Be Removed And The Rest Is Not Dying?
Hi there My husband has a brain tumor, it is very rare and is called Condrosarcoma. In May 2011 when it was diagnosed it was as big as my fist. A local Neurosurgeon took a biopsy and could only remove a 3rd of the tumor. He had radiation for about 2 months every day, but it does not seem like the tumor is dying. It has gone into every little opening expl his sinus openings ext. Is there anything that you can do for him?

Hello,
Since the tumor is expanding the best way for your husband is to undergo a more aggressive surgery.
There are serious risks also that you should consider.
Take a second opinion from another Neurosurgeon in your country.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
