Brain cancer affects people of all ages and backgrounds. Awareness helps with early detection, supports patients and caregivers, and encourages funding for research and improved treatments.
Key facts
Brain tumors can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastatic, spreading from another part of the body).
Symptoms vary by tumor type and location but commonly include persistent headaches, new or worsening seizures, changes in vision or hearing, difficulty speaking, cognitive or personality changes, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, and balance problems.
Diagnosis typically involves neurological exams, imaging (MRI is the gold standard), and often biopsy for definitive tumor typing.
Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and emerging approaches such as immunotherapy and tumor treating fields. Multidisciplinary care improves outcomes and quality of life.
Prognosis depends on tumor type, grade, location, patient age, and overall health.
