If something is wrong with the brain it is directly going to affect the whole body in some way or the other. Brain cancer is a disease of brain in which malignant cancer cells grow in the brain tissue. The cells grow to form a mass of cancer tissue or tumors that impair the normal functioning like muscle control, sensation, memory and other normal body functions.
It the cells are non cancerous or benign they are not harmful. But once the cancer turns malignant it grows vigorously and supersede the healthy cells and take up their nutrients and blood. Medical research has found out two types of brain cancer, Primary brain cancer and Metastatic brain cancer.
The primary brain cancer starts in the brain and have rare chances of spreading beyond nervous system. The death in primary brain cancer occurs due to uncontrolled tumor growth in the limited space of skull. Whereas Metastatic brain cancer begins somewhere else in the body and proceed towards brain. It is difficult to detect early and when it is known it is advanced stage of disease.
Knowing the brain cancer symptoms will help you to recognize the symptoms which is important for early treatment. The brain tumor causes damage to important neurological pathways and compress brain tissues. As a result the symptom \s develop overtime and they will depend on the size and location of tumor.
Initially the cancer do not cause pain, as it grows patient has mild discomfort, when it grows further the pain is severe, there is constant feeling of something going wrong in the body and the signs that appear like fever, rapid breathing rate and abnormal breathing sound heard through a stethoscope will be diagnosed as pneumonia.
the patient will have the problem of motion sickness a common disturbance caused by repeated motions like motion of airplane, movement of car and so on. The motion sickness affects the patients sense of balance and equilibrium, the other common symptom is the fits. This would be in the form of jerking or twitching of a hand, arm or leg.
Brain cancer is the most serious form and early detection is necessary to arrest the situation early and save life otherwise death is the ultimate truth.
