Primary Brian tumours are those originating in the brain
Long when healthy cells die, leading to a tumour
Symptoms
Balance loss
Seizures
Blurred vision
Inability to speak
Increasingly strong headache
Management
Radiation therapy use of high energy Ray's to kill abnormal cells
Chemotherapy use of drugs to destroy
Tomotherapy cancer treatment of high dose radiation
Chemotherapy is also for inhibiting growth of tumours
Craniotomy the cranium is being open to remove the tumour
Causes
The exact cause is unknown
