In Children Brain tumors are the second most common form of cancer, after leukemia, in infants and young children.
Brain cancer is a disease where abnormal cells begin to grow in the brain tissue.
There are two forms of brain tumors. A tumor that begins its growth in the brain is called a primary brain tumor. 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.
