Brain tumors: Diagnosis and treatment
Brain tumors can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or cancer can begin in other parts of your body and spread to your brain (secondary, or metastatic, brain tumors). Treatment options depend on the type, size and location of the tumor, as well as your overall health and preferences. Learn which treatment options might be right for you.
Cancer survivors and patients need a flu shot
If you have a current or past diagnosis of cancer, you may be at higher risk for complications if you get the flu. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu shot every year. Remind your family to get the flu shot, as well, as this will reduce your risk of being exposed to the virus from others around you. Have you gotten your annual flu shot yet?
