Understanding
Brain Tumours

Understanding the condition is an important first step toward making informed decisions about your care.

A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells in or around the brain. Brain tumours can vary significantly in their type, size, location and behaviour.

Some tumours may grow slowly, while others can be more aggressive. Symptoms can also vary depending on where the tumour is located and which areas of the brain are affected.

Possible Symptoms

Persistent or worsening headaches
Seizures
Changes in vision
Nausea or vomiting
Balance or coordination problems
Weakness or numbness
Changes in memory or concentration
Speech or communication difficulties

Having these symptoms does not necessarily mean that a person has a brain tumour. However, persistent or unexplained neurological symptoms should be appropriately assessed.
