The Characteristics of Brain Cancer

Before you understand more about brain cancer symptoms, you need to understand the structure of the human brain first. The brain is an important organ that regulates all activities / movements of the human body. Imagine you're on a motorcycle, how many activities you do? See the road, drive, look left and right, see the rearview mirror, balance, yet again, thinking about what to eat tonight ... In one second, there riburan things happen in your brain (both of which occur consciously or unconsciously).

The brain can be multitasking like this because of all the activity is regulated by different brain parts (each part has a different function). In general, the human brain is divided into three parts, namely a large brain (cerebrum), cerebellum (cerebellum) and brain stem (brain stem). Each section is divided into smaller parts, where each small part is divided again, and so on. Interstellar space is filled with cerebrospinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid), while the exterior is protected by three layers of the lining of the brain (meninges) and skull.

Well, every part of the brain can be affected by tumors / cancer. Although the tumor is benign, but because of the growth in the brain, can be very dangerous. The tumor may interfere with and damage the central nervous system structure, as it is located within a finite cavity (cranial cavity). Along with the development of these tumors, brain tissue will be more depressed. Though the volume of cranial cavity is very limited and is unlikely to grow. This is what makes the headaches / dizziness as an initial symptom of brain cancer.

Baseline characteristics of brain cancer varies greatly, depending on the part of the brain affected. For example headache or feel nauseated. Here are the symptoms of brain cancer that you should be aware of:

• • headache accompanied by nausea to vomiting spraying
• • reduced visibility
• • impairment of consciousness or behavior changes
• • speech impairment
• • hearing loss
• • impaired walking / balance of the body
• • neurological disorders
• • weakened limbs or seizures
• • infants are usually large protruding crown

Remember, the above list is only a symptom. Even if you experience one or more of the above symptoms, you are not necessarily affected by brain cancer. To be sure, you should be examined immediately by a physician neurologist and undergo further examination such as CT scan, MRI, angiogram, myelogram, spinal tap and biopsy.
