Introduction to Brain Cancer Brain cancer refers to abnormal cell growths in the brain or nearby structures, such as nerves or membranes. These tumors can be primary (starting in the brain) or secondary (metastatic from other cancers like lung or breast). While some are benign (noncancerous and slow-growing), others are malignant (cancerous and aggressive). Even benign tumors can be dangerous due to pressure on vital brain areas. Key Fact: Brain tumors are graded from 1 to 4, with grade 1 being the least aggressive and grade 4 (like glioblastoma) being the most aggressive and fastest-growing. Understanding brain cancer is crucial for early detection and better outcomes. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore types, symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment options, and the latest research in neuro-oncology. Ty...

Understanding the Basics visual illustration of keloid scar Keloids are benign fibrous growths that result from an overactive healing process. When skin is injured, the body produces collagen to repair the damage. In people prone to keloids, this collagen production continues even after the wound has healed, creating a thick, raised scar that extends beyond the original injury site. ...
