A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain. There are many different types of brain tumors, and they can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Some brain tumors may be slow-growing and may not cause any symptoms, while others may grow more rapidly and can cause serious health problems.

The symptoms of a brain tumor can vary depending on its location and size. Common symptoms include headaches, seizures, changes in vision, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, weakness or numbness in the arms or legs, and changes in personality or mood. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention right away.

Diagnosis of a brain tumor typically involves imaging tests such as an MRI or CT scan. Treatment options may include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these approaches. The treatment plan will depend on the type of tumor, its size and location, and the patient’s overall health. In some cases, the tumor may be too difficult to remove or the patient may not be a candidate for surgery, in which case other treatments may be recommended to help manage symptoms and slow the tumor’s growth.
