About

A brain tumor is a lump or development of aberrant cells in the brain. There are multiple types of brain tumors; some tumors are cancerous (malignant), while others may be noncancerous (benign). The tumor may begin in the brain (primary brain tumor) or spread from other parts of the body (secondary brain tumor). A Neurosurgeon is a special healthcare provider who can diagnose the type of tumor and treats it accordingly. Dr. Sung Kyun Hwang is a seasoned and proficient Neurosurgeon with a special interest in Cerebrovascular Surgery, Endovascular coiling, Neuro-oncology (Brain tumor), and Head trauma.
