A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in or around the brain that can be either benign or malignant. Treatment depends greatly on the type, size, and location of the tumor. Today, several tumors located in the brain and skull base can be treated using modern techniques without the need for extensive open-skull surgery.
Dr. dr. Irwan Barlian Immadoel Haq, , SpBS, N.Onc(K) stated that advancements in neurosurgical technology now allow brain tumors to be treated using more modern, precise, and minimally invasive techniques.
According to him, National Hospital is equipped with comprehensive facilities and advanced equipment to manage various brain tumor cases, including endoscopic methods and minimally invasive surgical techniques tailored to the patient’s condition.
"Brain tumor surgery today is no longer always associated with large incisions. With the advancement of modern neurosurgical technology, some cases can be managed using minimally invasive approaches with endoscopy and specialized techniques to help accelerate patient recovery," said Dr. Irwan Barlian.
He explained that the use of modern technology in brain tumor surgery helps doctors visualize the surgical area more clearly and precisely, allowing procedures to be performed more optimally while preserving the function of surrounding brain tissue.
In addition, the support of modern operating facilities and a multidisciplinary team at National Hospital enables patients to receive comprehensive care ranging from diagnosis and surgery to post-operative rehabilitation.
"We hope the public will not be afraid or delay medical examinations when experiencing certain neurological symptoms. Earlier treatment can provide better therapeutic opportunities for brain tumor patients," he added.
