Brain Tumors

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells within the brain. They may either be malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous). Brain tumors can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the location of the tumor and the type of cells affected. Symptoms can include headaches, changes in vision, seizures, memory problems, and personality changes. Treatment of brain tumors usually involves surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy. Brain tumors are a significant source of mortality and morbidity, and their treatment is of vital importance. The early diagnosis of brain tumors and their correct management can greatly improve prognosis and quality of life for patients.
