The Reality of Brain Tumours and What Doctors Can Do

In this episode of the Cancer Assist Podcast, Dr. Bill Evans is joined by Dr. Omar II, MD, SM, Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery and Associate Member in Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact at McMaster University, and Staff Neurosurgeon at Hamilton General Hospital and Hamilton Health Sciences. 

Together, they break down what a brain tumour diagnosis really means, from the difference between benign and malignant tumours to how they are diagnosed and treated. The conversation explores surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, as well as the importance of access to care and how factors outside the hospital can impact patient outcomes.
