Brain cancer is a brain injury caused by a mass of abnormal cells in the brain. The exact cause of brain cancer is unknown.

Cancer in another part of your body is also a risk factor for developing a tumor in the brain, though these aren’t called brain cancer. This is because they can spread to the brain. The symptoms that develop are determined by the type and severity of the brain cancer. Symptoms usually consis of frequent and severe headaches, nausea, vision problems, gradual loss of sensation, hearing problems, and seizures. There's no specific cure for brain cancers, but there are available treatment options. The most common treatment is getting a Surgical Excision, Radiation Therapy which includes whole brain radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, and Chemotherapy which include standard chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
