Follow-up

Once your brain tumor is diagnosed, you need to be very careful to keep all of your appointments with consultants and your primary health-care provider. In general, people with brain cancer are at increased risk for additional medical problems and, potentially, reoccurrence or worsening of their symptoms.

After your treatment, you will be returning for follow-up visits with your cancer team. A schedule of follow-up checkups and tests will be recommended. The purpose of this follow-up is to ensure that any recurrence of your cancer or any long-term effect of the treatment is identified promptly so that it can be treated right away
