Benign brain tumors - Can benign tumors have so called 'seeds' that can break off and spread


                                         
Asked by Unregistered on Tue 04, Mar 2008 03:12pm :

Our 17 yr. old host son was diagnosed with two brain tumors. A biopsy performed in Korea showed they were benign. They did not operate, and he underwent two rounds of chemotherapy. His parents said the MRI shows the tumors have almost gone away. He is now starting radiation for 4 1/2 weeks. However, they have marked his entire spine for radiation. Why would they treat the entire spine for benign brain tumors? Can these benign tumors have so called 'seeds' that can break off and spread? Is it unusual to have two benign brain tumors? Thank you!
