Primary Malignant Brain Tumor in Adults

A primary cancerous brain tumor in adults is a growth of malignant cells that originates in the brain's own tissue, unlike those that arrive from other organs.

Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon and the oncologist work together to study this type of tumor and to define, in each case, the most appropriate approach.

Common symptoms: These may include persistent or recently developed headaches, vision changes, changes in speech or memory, seizures, and weakness in some part of the body.

When should you seek care? When headaches that differ from the usual ones appear along with other neurological symptoms, it's important for a professional to assess the situation and guide the necessary tests.
