Suggest Remedy For Brain Tumour
hello my nephew just found a mass on his brain . they told him if he got dx by biopsy it may grow very rapidly. he chose not to have this done just following growth rate by pet scanning. how long can he survive if nothing is done. i know you can not give a specific time but estimate please?

Hi, brain mass should be operated by decompression and biopsy in superficial tumors and by steriotactic biopsy in deep seated tumors .Nothing can be told about survival time without tissue diagnosis.Thanks
