A brain tumor is a growth of abnormal cells within the brain or inside the skull that can disrupt normal brain function. Brain tumors can be either benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and they can originate from different types of cells in the brain or from cells that have migrated from elsewhere in the body. The exact cause of most brain tumors is unknown, but factors such as genetics, age, and exposure to radiation or certain chemicals can increase the risk. Symptoms of a brain tumor can include headaches, seizures, nausea, vomiting, vision changes, memory problems, balance issues, and changes in speech, hearing, or coordination. The severity and specific symptoms depend on the size, location, and type of brain tumor. Diagnosis of a brain tumor often involves a combination of medical imaging tests such as CT scans or MRI scans, and sometimes a biopsy, where a small sample of the tumor is removed for analysis. Treatment options can include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. The choice of treatment depends on various factors, including the type and stage of the tumor, the patient's age and overall health, and the goal of the treatment (e.g., cure, control of symptoms, or extending life). It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any persistent symptoms that may be indicative of a brain tumor, as early diagnosis and treatment can improve the outcome.
