Hi.. The treatment for the malignant tumour depends on the stage the tumour is presently.. It can involve surgical treatment if surgery is feasible, or radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In addition in a brain tumour, treatment is also given for preventing convulsions from occuring.. A much more clear pictures would be available from her doctors...
Everything depends upon the histology and stage of the tumor. The attending neurosurgeon will be the best person to give the patient a clear picture.
