Not
necessarily, although all of them are serious, there are some types
of brain cancer, which have a good prognosis.
A type of brain tumor called meningioma, is a very slow growing
tumor which arises from the meninges (the sac covering the brain).
This makes it easier to cut out and since it is slowly growing and
does not metastasize, cure rates are very good.
Other
tumor, such as Glioblastoma Multiforme, usually grow deep inside
the brain, by the time it is diagnosed, it's too late to treat the
patient.
