Brain tumors are classified according to histology, but tumor location and extent of spread are important factors that affect treatment and prognosis.

Complete tumor removal is not usually needed and can be difficult due to the tumor location.

This system could provide tumor locations accurately, leading to earlier detection and more non-invasive procedures in the future.

A doctor can often identify signs and symptoms that are specific to the tumor location.

Symptoms depend on primary tumor locations and metastases if present:

An individual plan needs to be tailored on the basis of patient age, tumor location, and prior treatment.

The incidence of esophageal cancer has risen in recent decades, coinciding with a shift in histologic type and primary tumor location.

For surgical cases, the odds of cure vary depending on the tumor location and whether the tumor can be completely, or only partially, removed.

Post-surgery therapy and strengthening may be needed, depending on the tumor location and health of the individual.

Factors such as age, tumor location, and clinical presentation are helpful in differential diagnosis.
