Brain Tumor Disease Guide

Symptoms of a Brain Tumor!

A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells that grow in the brain. Brain tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). They can originate in the brain itself or be the result of cancer that has spread from another part of the body. Those that are cancerous frequently grow rapidly, while those that are not tend to grow more slowly.

While benign tumors are generally less worrisome when they occur in other parts of the body, in the brain they often grow large enough to disrupt normal functioning. If they do, surgery is required.
