The Chest or Thoracic cavity has to be opened to remove the lung lobe
Cranial
None, they would open the skull with the use of a drill.
The thoracic cavity would be opened to remove a cancerous lung lobe. This procedure is typically performed through a surgical approach called a thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
They will open the top of the skull and take away some of the bone/skull to reveal the brain. When they are done, they will put back the bone and all is well! It is a very risky/dangerous percedure though, because you can lose your memory, bodily functions, and/or become a vegteble!

It depends on the location of the tumor. Most commonly, a brain tumor will increase the pressure within the skull as it grows, forcing the medulla (the lowest part of the brain) downward into the spinal canal. Compression of the medulla can seriously affect blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate.
Surgery can be performed to remove the tumor. If there are symptoms present as a result of the brain tumor and the tumor is benign, then it is possible that removing the tumor surgically will alleviate the symptoms. If the tumor is malignant, then it's a whole different situation and surgery may not solve the problem.
Brain biopsies are a medical procedure used to remove a piece of tumor or tissue from the brain for testing. This can be done by drilling a small hole in the skull and inserting a hollow needle or by a surgeon removing a part of the skull and removing the tissue.
Brain Tumor Society was created in 1989.
Brain Tumor Foundation was created in 1998.
Yes if brain tumor or cancers are their specialty then as a doctor they should have a decent if not vast amount of information on brain tumor symptoms and how to cure the brain tumor.
A brain tumor is a growth in a person's brain from rapidly multiplying cells that can affect the way your brain or nervous system works.
