A concept diagram, not an anatomical image, procedure simulation, or personal treatment sequence.

A tumour does not always mean cancer. Type and grade need clarification.

Understand this condition

The central nervous system includes brain and spinal cord. Its tumours include glioma, ependymoma, meningioma, and other groups.

How it is assessed

Brain or spinal location, age, neurological function, and tissue or molecular classification guide assessment needs.

Care pathways

Neurosurgery, radiation, oncology, pathology, and rehabilitation may contribute according to type. Disease control and functional preservation are considered together.

Important distinctions & limits

For many CNS tumours, grade differs from staging used in other organs. Childhood tumours should not automatically be managed like adult disease.

Watch first. Understand more easily.

One diagnosis, several care specialties

Read the video transcript
  1. Understand the disease type first. An organ name is not enough. Pathology, stage, and general condition give context.
  2. Each specialty has a role. Medical, radiation, and surgical oncology may work together according to the case.
  3. An MDT brings perspectives together. A multidisciplinary team discusses findings and options. Team composition depends on the case.
  4. Bring clear questions. BKC supports coordination. Diagnosis and medical decisions remain with licensed clinicians.
