Overview
If you have symptoms, your doctor will perform a complete medical history and physical examination. A neurological assessment will evaluate, for example, your eye movement and pupil reaction; your hearing and senses of smell and touch; your reflexes and coordination; and your thinking ability and memory. Other tests that can help in diagnosing tumors may be ordered. Surgery is often required to determine if there is a brain tumor and to see what type of tumor it is.
This section contains more information on diagnostic tests and on surgical biopsy.
