Hi, there. It all depends which tumor your brother has. There are various types of brain tumor. Most of them are resistant to radiation. There are few of them like medulloblastoma and hypophisis tumors which are radio-sensitive. The first choice methods are usually surgery and chemotherapy. They can be combined with radiotherapy. I think the best is to consult with your brother’s doctor. He will tell you the options. I hope everything will be better.
