Neurology is a medical discipline that focuses on neurological disorders related to the nervous system and the brain. A neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in neurology, and whose job it is to investigate, diagnose, and treat neurological disorders.

Removing the tumor can improve neurological symptoms, provide tissue for diagnosis, help make other brain tumor treatments more effective, and, in many instances, improve the prognosis of a person with a brain tumor. A neurosurgeon is a doctor who specializes in surgery on the brain and spinal column. Surgery to the brain requires the removal of part of the skull, a procedure called a craniotomy. After the surgeon removes the tumor, the patient's own bone will be used to cover the opening in the skull. There have been rapid advances in surgery for brain tumors, including the use of cortical mapping.
