Brain Tumor:

 A cancerous or non-cancerous mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain. Tumours can start in the brain, or cancer elsewhere in the body can spread to the brain. Symptoms include new or increasingly strong headaches, blurred vision, loss of balance, confusion and seizures. In some cases, there may be no symptoms. Treatments include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Again, the patient and caregivers should discuss the prognosis when deciding on treatment plans. In general, life expectancy in patients with brain cancer is usually described as a survival rate five years after diagnosis. A brain tumor is a collection, or mass, of abnormal cells in your brain. Brain tumors can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). When benign or malignant tumors grow, they can cause the pressure inside your skull to increase. This can cause brain damage, and it can be life-threatening.
