A tumor that grows elsewhere in the body and spreads to the brain is a metastasized brain tumor. Brain tumors may cause headaches, seizures, or swelling of the brain. They may also cause vision or speech problems, dizziness, weakness, difficulty walking or handling objects, nausea, and vomiting. If any of these symptoms occur without apparent cause, seek medical care immediately. It can interfere with the growth and development of a child's brain, so it is not used if the child is under three years old.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill the cancer cells.
