🧠 What is a Brain Tumor?

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain or surrounding tissues. It can be:

• Benign (non-cancerous) – slow-growing
• Malignant (cancerous) – aggressive and fast-growing

Tumors can affect brain function by increasing pressure on surrounding tissues, leading to neurological symptoms.

⚠️ Common Symptoms of Brain Tumor

Early detection is crucial. Symptoms depend on tumor size and location.

🔍 Warning Signs:

• Persistent or severe headaches (especially morning headaches)
• Nausea & vomiting
• Blurred or double vision
• Weakness in arms or legs
• Difficulty in speech or memory
• Balance issues or dizziness
• Seizures (fits) without history
• Personality or behavior changes

👉 Headache is the most common symptom due to increased brain pressure.

🧪 Diagnosis of Brain Tumor

Doctors use advanced tests to confirm diagnosis:

• Neurological examination
• MRI / CT scan
• Biopsy (tumor tissue testing)
• Tumor grading (Grade 1 to Grade 4)

👉 Tumor grade indicates how fast it grows and helps decide treatment.

Treatment depends on tumor type, size, location, and patient health.
