A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in your brain. Many different types of brain tumors exist. Some are cancerous noncancerous (benign) and some are cancerous (malignant). How quickly a brain tumor grows can vary greatly. The growth rate as well as the location of a brain tumor determines how it will affect the function of your nervous system.
Treatment options depend on the type of brain tumor you have as well as it’s size and location.
