MOLDCARE in Radiation Therapy for Brain Cancer

May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month.

Malignant Brain tumors are cancerous and can be divided into two categories: primary brain tumors, which start in the brain. Metastatic (or secondary) brain tumors are malignant tumors that originate in other parts of the body (breast, lung, colon etc.) and spread to the brain.
