Brain Cancer: Comprehensive Guide

Image
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.
