Brain cancer refers to malignant tumors that develop in brain tissue. These tumors may be primary, i.e. originating in the brain, or metastatic, i.e. arising from cancers that have spread from other parts of the body. Treatment may include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapies, and often a combination of these approaches is used. Oncothermia can be a complementary option for the treatment of brain cancer, offering an additional therapeutic alternative for patients.
