Brain Tumors

Brain tumours are abnormal cell growths in the brain or the tissues around it. These tumours can come from the brain's own cells or nerve tissues or from cancers that have migrated from other regions of the body (metastatic tumours). Depending on their location, the type of cells they consist of, and their growth rate, there are several types of brain tumours.
Some of the most common forms are gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary tumours, and medulloblastomas. The size and location of the tumour might modify the symptoms, although they typically include headaches, seizures, problems with vision or hearing, memory loss, trouble with balance, and changes in personality. Occasionally, symptoms may progressively worsen without initial detection.
The actual origin of brain tumours is not always known; however, things including genetic mutations, a family history of brain tumours, being exposed to radiation, and some inherited diseases may make the risk higher.
Neurological exams, imaging tests like MRIs or CT scans, and sometimes a biopsy are all common ways to get a diagnosis. Depending on the kind, size, and location of the tumour, treatment may include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies. 
Finding and treating the problem early is very important for getting better results. Multidisciplinary care and new neurosurgical methods have greatly improved the quality of life and survival rates for people with brain tumours.
