Brain Cancer Prognosis

Brain cancers can begin from the primary brain cells, the cells that form other brain elements such as, membrane walls, blood veins, or from the growth of cancer cells that develop in our body organs and that have spread to the brain by the blood vessels.

  1. Brain Tumor Brain Cancer Prognosis

  2. Introduction A brain tumor, or tumour, is an intracranial solid neoplasm, a tumor within the brain or the central spinal canal.Brain tumors include all tumors inside the cranium or in the central spinal canal. They are created by an abnormal and uncontrolled cell division, usually in the brain itself, but also in lymphatic tissue, in blood vessels, in the cranial nerves, in the brain envelopes, skull, pituitary gland, or pineal gland.

  3. Types of brain tumor Glioma : A glioma is a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine. It is called a glioma because it arises from glial cells. The most common site of gliomas is the brain.Symptoms of gliomas depend on which part of the central nervous system is affected. A brain glioma can cause headaches, nausea and vomiting, seizures, and cranial nerve disorders as a result of increased intracranial pressure.

  4. Meningiomas Meningiomas are a diverse set of tumors arising from the meninges, the membranous layers surrounding the central nervous system.They arise from the arachnoid cap cells of the arachnoidvilli in the meninges.These tumors are usually benign in nature; however, a small percentage are malignant.

  5. Pituitary Adenoma Pituitary adenomas are noncancerous tumors that occur in the pituitary gland. Pituitary adenomas are generally divided into three categories dependant upon their biological functioning: benign adenoma, invasive adenoma or carcinomas.
