Neurological Complications of Cancer

Neurological complications of cancer refer to problems that affect the brain and nervous system due to cancer or its treatment. These complications can arise when cancer spreads to the brain or spinal cord, causing issues like headaches, seizures, or cognitive changes. Treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can also lead to side effects like fatigue, confusion, or nerve damage. Neuro-oncology is the field focused on understanding and managing these challenges, aiming to improve the quality of life for patients while addressing both cancer and its neurological effects.
