How do brain tumors affect emotions, intellect and personality?
Brain tumors affect people in many different ways depending on a variety of factors, such as tumor type, location, size, and other factors. CNI’s Center for Brain & Spinal Tumors Team includes neuropsychologists who are involved in a patient’s treatment path to assess and monitor the impact of the tumor on a patient’s cognitive and motor functions, as well as emotions. A neuropsychologist is often involved during brain tumor surgery, particularly the awake craniotomy. Neuropsychological evaluations are also part of CNI’s offering to patients. In addition, neuropsychologists can help patients and their families cope with changes that result from the brain tumor or treatment.
