Dr. John D. Lipani is a leading expert in both surgical and non-invasive brain tumor treatment. Brain tumors can either originate in the brain, known as primary brain tumors, or originate elsewhere in the body, known as secondary brain tumors. Although brain tumors can occur at any age, people over the age of 65 have a higher chance of being diagnosed with a brain tumor. Dr. Lipani practices state-of-the-art neurosurgery in New Jersey and offers a variety of treatment options designed to enhance patients' survival and quality of life.
There are more than 120 different types of brain tumors. In adults, gliomas are the most common type of brain tumor. Brain tumor symptoms vary depending on the size, type and location of the brain tumor. Brain tumor symptoms include headaches, nausea and vomiting, changes in speech, walking and balancing problems, hearing or vision loss, mood changes, memory problems, twitching muscles, seizures and numbness or tingling in the arms or legs.
Brain tumor survival rate depends on many factors including tumor type, the grade of the tumor cells, the brain tumor’s location, the size and shape of the brain tumor and the age of the patient. Different brain tumor types respond differently to the same treatment. Some brain tumors can be controlled by radiotherapy, while others respond best to surgery, radiosurgery, chemotherapy or a combination of these.
Dr. Lipani offers image guided brain surgery and non-invasive radiosurgery as brain tumor treatment options. Dr. Lipani understands that each patient and condition is different and deserves individualized care and attention to achieve the best possible outcome.
