Résumé
The quality of life of patients treated for brain tumor is, in all cases, deeply altered by the tumor and the treatments. Optimizing the symptomatic management is a key objective for all care givers. We present in this paper a very pragmatic focus concerning the management of intracranial hypertension (and/or neurological deficits), venous thromboembolism, confusion, epilepsy and symptoms more directly associated with the end of life.
