Brain Cancer Symptoms


Brain Cancer Symptoms
Know the symptoms of Brain Cancer. As the location of cancerous brain tumors changes, the symptoms also change.

Brain cancer is also called Glioma or Meningioma. If cancer starts in the brain itself, it is called "primary brain cancer". If cancer starts elsewhere in the body and then moves to the brain, it is called "metastatic brain cancer". A primary brain cancer usually is confined to the central nervous system. Due to uncontrolled tumor growth in the limited space of the skull, death takes place. A metastatic brain cancer is an advanced disease and is related to poor prognosis. Primary brain tumors may be cancerous or noncancerous. All the cancerous brain tumors are malignant and threaten life due to the aggressive and invasive nature. In the United States, there are 15 to 20 cases of brain cancer in 100,000 people. It is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in patients younger than 35. In case of children, primary brain cancer occurs in 3 out of 100,000 annually. Secondary brain cancer occurs in 20 to 30% patients with metastatic diseases. This incidence increases with age. Every year, about 100,000 cases of secondary brain cancer are diagnosed.

Brain cancer symptoms
There are about 24 distinct symptoms of brain cancer. These are listed below.
vision problems
vomiting
nausea
seizures
headaches
behavioral problems
brain swelling
hydrocephalus
dizziness
hearing problems
motor problems
memory loss
memory problems
cognitive problems
personality changes
lack of coordination
stumbling
one-sided body weakness
numbness of arms and legs
weakness of arms and legs
hallucinations
speech problems
balance problems
gait problems
Metastatic brain cancer invades the brain tissue indiscriminately. This leads to the following symptoms:
vomiting
swelling
seizures
nausea
motor dysfunction
impaired mental function
headache
bleeding
Symptoms of brain tumor that may be cancerous
Some brain tumors are cancerous. Any brain tumor can hinder the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This causes an accumulation of CSF (hydrocephalus) and increased intracranial pressure (IICP). The common symptoms are:
vomiting
headache
nausea
The brain tumors damage vital neurological pathways and press the brain tissue. Depending on the location and size of the tumor, the symptoms vary.

If a tumor is present in the brainstem, then the symptoms are:
drowsiness
behavioral and emotional changes (irritability)
hearing loss
difficulty in speaking and swallowing
headache, especially in the morning
muscle weakness on one side of the face
uncoordinated gait
vomiting
muscle weakness on one side of the body (hemiparesis)
vision loss, drooping eyelid (ptosis), crossed eyes (strabismus)
Meningioma or a tumor of the meninges gives rise to the following symptoms:
vision loss
seizures
prolonged drowsiness (somnolence)
mental and emotional change (apathy, disinhibition)
incontinence
impaired speech (dysphasia)
hearing loss
headache
If a brain tumor is present in the frontal lobe, then the symptoms are:
impaired sense of smell
paralysis on one side of the body (hemiplegia)
behavioral and emotional changes
memory loss
impaired judgement
vision loss and inflammation of the optic nerve (papilledema)
reduced mental capacity (cognitive function)
If a tumor is present in the parietal lobe, then the symptoms are:
lack of recognition
impaired speech
seizures
spatial disorders
inability to write
If the tumor is located in the right and left hemispheres of the frontal lobe, then this causes:
behavioral changes
cognitive changes
uncoordinated gait
If a tumor is present in the occipital lobe, then there may be vision loss in one or both eyes and seizures may also occur.
If a tumor is present in the temporal lobe, then there are no symptoms, but there may be impaired speech and seizures.

If a tumor grows in the pituitary gland (pituitary adenoma), then the secretion of hormones increases, there is discontinuation of menstruation (amenorrhea) and excessive secretion of milk in women (galactorrhea). Men may be afflicted by impotency.

  1. My name is PUtri Adiratnaa, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another   we tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the Dr James herbal treatment and decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he prepared some herbs and sent them, along with guidance on how to use them via the DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed by DR James and in less than 14 days, my daughter recovered her health.
