The brain tumor treatment at Rambam takes place in the Neurosurgery Department.

Doctors apply fluorescent diagnostics to detect the neoplasm. It allows determining the borders of the tumor and completely remove it. There is a neurophysiological laboratory in the Department. Here specialists conduct MRI and ultrasound navigation during the operation. These systems assess the location of healthy brain structures to avoid their damage.

For a comprehensive examination, a patient needs to stay in the Clinic for 3-5 days. If benign brain tumor develops asymptomatically, specialists recommend regular observation with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). If a tumor develops rapidly, it is removed by the endoscopic method. When tumors are large and hard-to-reach, doctors prescribe craniotomy.
