Brain tumor
Brain and nervous system cancers refer to tumors that start in the brain, spinal cord, or nerves and can be classified as either primary or secondary (metastatic). Signs of these cancers can differ depending on the size and location of the tumor and may include headaches, seizures, memory issues, changes in hearing or vision, difficulty speaking or understanding, weakness/numbness in limbs, and troubles with balance and coordination. Diagnosis involves imaging tests such as CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, and a biopsy to identify the grade/type of tumor. Treatment usually consists of surgery for the removal of as much tumor as possible followed by radiation therapy or chemotherapy to reduce/kill any remaining cancer cells. Targeted therapy is sometimes used for certain kinds of tumors like glioblastomas. Prognosis will vary depending on the type/grade/location of the tumor + the patient's age & overall health; some have better prognoses than others (meningiomas). Prevention includes living a healthy lifestyle & avoiding toxins/radiation; if any symptoms appear it's important to talk to a healthcare provider for evaluation & treatment.
