|
| |
|
| *There are two main types of tumors: malignant or cancerous tumors and benign tumors.
| |
| **Cancerous tumors can be divided into primary tumors that start within the brain, and secondary tumors that have spread from somewhere else, known as brain metastasis tumors.

| SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS:
| |
|
| |
| *The signs and symptoms of brain tumors are broad, and generally correspond to the area of the brain that they are located in. The brain is divided into 4 lobes, and each lobe or area has its own function. A tumor in any of these lobes may affect the area's performance. The location of the tumor is often linked to the symptoms experienced but each person may experience something different.
| |
| **Frontal lobe tumors may contribute to poor reasoning, inappropriate social behavior, personality changes, poor planning, lower inhibition, and decreased production of speech (Broca's area).
| |
| **Temporal lobe: Tumors in this lobe may contribute to poor memory, loss of hearing, difficulty in language comprehension (Wernicke's area).
| |
| **Parietal lobe: Tumors here may result in poor interpretation of languages, decreased sense of touch and pain, and poor spatial and visual perception.
| |
| **Occipital lobe: Damage to this lobe may result in poor or loss of vision.
| |
| **Cerebellum: Tumors in this area may cause poor balance, muscle movement, and posture.
| |
| **Brain stem: Tumors on this can affect blood pressure, swallowing, and heartbeat.
