Brain Cancer

There are two major types of brain cancer. Primary brain cancers start in the brain. Metastatic brain cancer starts anywhere else in the body and moves to the brain. Brain tumors can be caring, with no cancer cells, or malignant, with cancer cells that raise quickly.

Brain tumors can origin many symptoms. Some of the most common are

  • Headaches, usually worse in the morning
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Changes in your ability to talk, hear or see
  • Problems with balance or walking
  • Problems with thinking or memory
  • Muscle jerking or twitching
  • Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
No one knows the exact cause of brain tumors. Doctors can rarely explain why one person develops a brain tumor and any more does not.
