These are growths that do not invade tissue or spread to the rest of the body. Benign tumors have well-defined borders. Brain tumors may cause headaches, seizures, or swelling of the brain. They may also cause vision or speech problems, irritability or rapid mood changes, dizziness, weakness, difficulty walking or handling objects, nausea, and vomiting. If any of these symptoms occur without apparent cause, seek medical care immediately.
Surgery removes the tumor and relieves pressure in the brain.
If a cancerous tumor has spread and cannot be removed, surgery can be used to relieve symptoms. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill the cancer cells. Hormone therapy uses hormones to stop the cancer cells from growing. Biological therapy uses methods to get your body to fight the cancer. All Rights Reserved.
