brain tumours

Brain tumours are abnormal growths of cells within the brain, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). They develop when cells divide uncontrollably, forming a mass that can press against or damage surrounding brain tissue. Symptoms vary depending on the tumour’s size and location, and may include headaches, seizures, vision changes, or weakness. Diagnosis involves imaging tests like MRI or CT scans. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Early detection and intervention can improve outcomes, but the impact on health depends on the tumour type, size, and location within the brain.
