Abstract- There are different types of tumors are available. Astrocytoma is the most common type of tumor (30% of all brain tumor) and is usually a malignant one. Astrocytoma can be subdivided into four grades

What are the symptoms of a brain tumor in adults? The symptoms of a brain tumor in the adults can be general or specific. One of the most common or general symptoms caused as a result of the pressure made by the tumor on the brain or spinal cord of a person. Some symptoms are caused because of improper functioning of a particular part of the brain due to tumor. People with a brain tumor may experience raised intracranial pressure (ICP) which is the build-up of pressure inside the skull. The build-up

Brain tumor Clinical feature A brain tumor is an abnormal development of tissue in the brain or central spine, which is accountable for appropriate brain functionality. Brain and spinal cord tumors are atypical growths of tissue found inside the skull or the bony spinal column, which are the chief constituents of the central nervous system (CNS). Benign tumors are noncancerous and malignant tumors are cancerous. The central nervous system (CNS) is accommodated within rigid, bony quarters (i.e., the

doctor found a benign, tumor within my friend’s brain at the age of thirteen, but he is now twenty-four years old and as healthy as ever. My father is the other person I know who had a tumor. A team of doctors found his tumor when he was thirty-nine years old; I was only four years old at the time. His was also benign but it was within a different spot of his brain, unfortunately he passed away twelve years after he found out he had it. What are brain tumors? Brain tumors are masses of cells that

Brains Tumours: Cancer By Finlay McKibbin oGe3 Which part of the bedy dees it affect? Brain tumours effect the brain, being formed in its glial cells, which grow from the supporting cells of the brain These tumours are known as "gliomas. Considering they develop in the brain, they are formally known as primary brain tumours. Also, the part of the brain the brain tumour effects, changes the symptoms and treatments for the individual. Common Symptoms. The common symptoms of brain tumours are; Headaches:

Out for these 7 Brain Tumor Signs Most people worry about their headaches thinking this could be a warning sign of a brain tumor. But more often than not, headaches aren’t even included in some of the warning signs. Here are 7 brain tumor signs you need to watch out for: 1. You have seizures Seizures are always one of the initial signs, not considering the type of tumor. This is because the neurons in the brain become more out of control due to the irritation caused by the tumor, which causes abnormal

Primary brain cancer develops from cells within the brain. Part of the central nervous system (CNS), the brain is the control center for vital functions of the body, including speech, movement, thoughts, feelings, memory, vision, hearing and more. Primary brain tumors are classified by the type of cell or tissue the tumor affects, and the location and grade of the tumor. Tumor cells may travel short distances within the brain, but generally won't travel outside of the brain itself. When cancer develops

Ependymoma is a type of brain tumor and while it is rare in adults, accounting for 2-3% of brain tumors, ependymoma is mainly found in children and accounts for around 5% of all childhood brain cancers (American Cancer Society [ACS], 2014, January 31; American Brain Tumor Association [ABTA], n.d.). The survival rate of patients with ependymoma who have survived five years after their tumor is detected is 75% Tumors occur when cells grow to excess and form a mass. While some tumors are benign, meaning

How are symptoms and side effects are taken care in brain tumor treatment? Brain tumor is one of the most complex diseases that needs a lot of care at every stage of its treatment. This complexity is one of the main reasons behind the side effects caused after the treatment. Therefore an important care is required to provide relief to the patients from the symptoms as well as its side effects. This stage is referred as the palliative or supportive care. In this a proper support system is offered
