Brain Tumor Surgery (Neuro-oncology)
Brain tumor surgery, a core part of neuro-oncology, involves the removal or reduction of abnormal growths in the brain. These growths may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and early intervention can be life-saving. At Narayana Health City, Bangalore, Dr. Komal Prasad offers expert surgical treatment for brain tumors with a focus on precision, safety, and long-term recovery.
