* "The primary and most desired course of action described in medical literature is surgical removal."
I can imagine someone consulting this article in a serious way would be somewhat confused by the two statements above.  Although I suppose it's vaguely possible that they are both true, I'm not actually sure what these sentences mean.  It would be great if someone could clarify (and perhaps add some citations).

message: Many types, 140+ - remarkable for one organ.  All hard to treat. Most occur in glial tissues. G-blastoma, worst, highly dispersive even when very small, resistant to chemo and radio, good at fooling immune system. BBB generally makes chemo difficult. Median survival now c 14 mths - vs 6-8 wks if untreated. Little change since 2008.  Wiki CRUK John (talk) 17:29, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Points from Prof RR talk 

message: As with the other reviews listed below, I asked a CRUK specialist to do an initial review, the idea being to sort out basic points out in the article before sending the article for review by other outside specialists. I was hoping this would give the medical editing community enough to go on to start serious work on the article.  The reviewer here was the same as for lung cancer (an FA), and she was struck by the much poorer quality and randomness of this in comparison. We agreed that sizeable parts of the article should just be cut, or at the least entirely rewritten. In contrast to User:Axl & lung cancer, the article doesn't seem to have a "primary carer" beyond the indefatigable monitoring of JMH & JDW.  In these circumstances, I won't write up the notes here. If anyone wants to help upgrade the article, please let me know, & I can communicate as is most convenient.  I think much of it will have to be redone from scratch. The other reviews are at Talk:Lung_cancer#CRUK_review, Talk:Esophageal_cancer#Initial_review_by_CRUK and Talk:Pancreatic_cancer#Initial_review_by_CRUK.  Thanks again to everyone who has helped, but there is plenty more to be done. Wiki CRUK John (talk) 16:52, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Anticoagulation and risk of haemorrhage 

message: Hi all. The diagnosis section is quite cluttered, and I believe the classification and types subheadings under it should be merged into their own section. It makes more sense to first define the different classifications/types of brain tumors, and then move into how they are diagnosed. Furthermore, the subheading itself is disorganized and missing some information and linking (ie. tumor grading scale?), and would benefit from becoming its own section. I suggest it is placed just before diagnosis. #macbhsc2019  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silvestc (talk • contribs) 16:33, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving classification/types to its own section? 

message: Hello everyone, I am a medical student enrolled in the Osmosis Wikipedia editing course for the next month. I plan to improve this article by making the following changes - comments and suggestions are welcome!
General
I intend to focus on the aspects of a brain tumor that would be important to a patient who wants to learn about their disease. I will therefore focus my efforts on the introduction, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment sections. I will edit the entire article for clarity, eliminate/explain unnecessary medical jargon, and add links to other wikipedia pages, and check references for reliability.
Introduction section
elaborate on benign tumors
explain/elaborate on signs and symptoms
explain what a metastatic tumor is
Signs/Symptoms section
edit for clarity, eliminate medical jargon
Cause section
check references for completeness and reliability of sources
Diagnosis section
edit for clarity, eliminate medical jargon
add references and links, especially in imaging and pathology section
Prognosis section
expand beyond medulloblastoma and glioblastoma multiforme
ensure that every type of brain tumor is linked to its appropriate wikipedia page (so patients can click through to learn more about their specific tumor) Carolyngeraci (talk) 04:36, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The article certainly could do with improvement, but please remember that our medical content is not intended to be specifically patient-centred, but to cater for a wide range of audiences.  There are other good cancer sites that are professionally designed for patients or (very often) their relatives, and take them gently though the basic concepts at a length that would not be appropriate here. Much "medical jargon" is necessary, though explaining it can be good. Please also remember you are writing for a global audience, and cannot assume they have access to American healthcare. We could certainly do with more on the less common types of tumours, not all of which seem even to be linked (many don't have articles at all I think).  Johnbod (talk) 15:30, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello! I'm xchilio.
As someone who has a brain tumor, I'm looking for advice.
I mainly get headaches all the time, (mainly unbearable ones.) and I feel sick with some of them. 
A few years ago, sh*t went down.
Basically, I started growing, my mental state went in the trash... etc.
What should I do?
If it's not enough advice, you can email my separate email.

thread_title:  Lack of sleep 

message: This sentence in the article summary really threw me, it reads like a non-sequitur:
"Since the brain is the body's only non-fungible organ, surgery carries a risk of the tumor returning."
What is this actually trying to say? My most generous interpretation is something like, "Unlike cancers in other organs where it's possible to prevent the recurrence of a tumor by removing the entire organ, tumors in the brain can only be treated surgically by removing the tumor itself, which may leave cancerous tissue behind, and thus treatment with surgery alone carries the risk of the tumor returning." I'm hesitant to edit the sentence in-place, however, because I don't know the original intent. AffineAffectation (talk) 11:12, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
