Learn about brain tumors and treatment options including radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. Learn about side effects, what to expect before, during and after treatment and resources to help you during your cancer journey.

This ten-and-a-half minute video gives a general overview of radiation therapy as used for brain tumors and walks a patient visually through the simulation and treatment process, with explanations of everything involved. Patients are given the opportunity to see what the equipment looks like, to be introduced to the members of the healthcare team treating them, learn about side effects and hear from patients.
