What is a Brain Tumor?

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain or central spine that can disrupt the normal functioning of the brain. All brain tumors can grow to damage areas of normal brain tissue if left untreated, which could be disabling and possibly fatal. B

How to diagnose Brain Tumor?

As part of the diagnosis, a doctor will measure nervous system functions, physical and mental alertness, and examine the brain functions from reflexes to judgment, smell and taste. If responses are not normal, a brain scan will be ordered, or the patient will be referred to a neurologist or neurosurgical oncologist for more tests. A scan is the first step to identify if a brain tumor is present, and to locate exactly where it is growing.
