What is a Brain Tumor?
Brain tumors are abnormal growths within the brain that can significantly impact neurological functions and overall health. These tumors can be primary, originating within the brain, or secondary, spreading from other parts of the body. They may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), with growth rates ranging from slow to aggressive. Symptoms vary depending on the tumor’s location and can include headaches, seizures, and cognitive changes. There are various types of brain tumors. Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors and include astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Medulloblastomas are highly malignant tumors that primarily affect children. Meningiomas are typically benign and originate from the brain’s protective membranes. Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors that affect hormone production. Craniopharyngiomas, benign tumors near the pituitary gland, and schwannomas, tumors of the nerve sheath that often impact hearing and balance, are also common.
