Abstract:
The study aimed to establish the treatment strategy for some common tumors of the central nervous system. 43 patients with brain tumors and a patient with myeloma who admitted since 1995 were investigated retrospectively. It was found that invasive astroma and glioblastoma multiforme was commonest. There was not significant relationship between clinical features of brain tumor and type of cytology. Aggressiveness mainly related to the region and the volume of tumor. Located clinical signs tend to promote the patient seeking health care. Definitive diagnosis is based on histopathological findings with surgery or needle biopsy. Surgery is main option for treatment. Post operative radiotherapy was indicated for most of patients.
