CNS (Central Nervous System) Tumors

Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors are abnormal growths of cells in the brain or spinal cord. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). These tumors may cause symptoms like headaches, seizures, or neurological problems depending on their size and location. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests such as MRI or CT scans, and treatment options include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. The prognosis varies based on the tumor type, location, and how early it’s detected. CNS tumors require specialized medical care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
