surgery may help his symptoms it will give diagnosis and further treatment
planning after operation and pathology /biopsy report.
If the surgery is high risk, brain tumor which is 4.0 cms in size can be treated with radio-surgery ( gamma knife ), the facility is available at Karachi. If gamma knife is also not possible then the tumor can be managed palliatively with Radiotherapy (IMRT),
