Hi I have recently been diagnosed with a benign grade 2tumour in the left hand side parietal lobe area Affecting speech and seizures and have been advised to watch and wait, the size is approx 1.8 cm What is the average short/medium term prognosis and is there any advice/ information that you could provide Regards Ewan
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Approximated survival for brain tumor of grade 2 is around 11 years with all treatment modalities (surgery, chemotherapy and radiation), however this depends on location, other medical conditions, etc. Initially observation and symptoms treatment is a good choice. You need periodically (every 6 months) imaging (MRI). If there is significant increase in size or worsening of symptoms, you should be treated. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
