Brain Cancer Surgery. Many people with a brain tumor undergo surgery. The purpose of surgery is to confirm that the abnormality seen during testing is indeed a tumor and to remove the tumor. If the tumor cannot be removed, the surgeon will take a sample of the tumor to identify its type.
Prilosec (omeprazole), the prescription strength form, is usually prescribed to be used alone or with other medications to treat ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the esophagus, and erosive esophagitis.
