Brain Tumor Awareness Month

May is brain tumor awareness month. Did you know that every day, almost 600 people are diagnosed with a brain tumor? That means more than 210,000 people a year are found to have brain tumors.

New technology is helping doctors treat brain tumors.

It almost looks like a dentist's x-ray machine, very futuristic. But this machine is being used right now, in our area.

Joining Talk Philly is Dr. Aubrey Okpaku, a neurosurgeon with Philadelphia Cyberknife and Crozer-Chester Medical Center.
