Why Brain Tumors Are Different From Other Cancers

What do most people get wrong about brain tumors? Dr. Sunil V. Furtado (Stanford-trained neurosurgeon) explains: Most brain tumors don’t come from neurons, but from supporting cells like astrocytes Brain tumors rarely spread to other parts of the body — they stay confined within the brain There are over 120 types of brain tumors Common types include: Meningioma: benign, slow-growing, puts pressure on brain areas Astrocytoma: can be low grade (surgically treatable) or high grade Glioblastoma Multiforme: highly malignant, fast-growing, very poor survival rates (only 8–10% at 5 years) The most common “brain tumor” diagnosed? Metastatic tumors from cancers elsewhere (like breast or intestine) This clip is from my 5-hour podcast with Dr. Furtado, where we discuss brain health, tumors, strokes, consciousness, and the art of neurosurgery.
