What is the difference between benign brain tumors and malignant brain tumors?
Firstly whether it is benign or malignant basically a brain tumour (UK English) or tumor (US English) means an abnormal growth in or on the brain of a person, including all tumours inside the skull or in the central spinal canal. Brain tumours are classed as either primaryor secondary. Either may be benign or malignant. Both benign and malignant brain tumour are created by an abnormal and uncontrolled cell division usually in the brain itself. So looking at the differences:-1. BENIGN BRAIN TUMOURS are noncancerous being generally low-grade brain tumours that are slow growing and unlikely to spread. They tend to stay in one place and not invade other areas of our brain or spread to other parts of our body. Sometimes, they can be surgically removed and will not come back, causing no further problems. But some grade 2 tumours may grow back. While some brain tumours do not cause any symptoms and are sometimes only discovered by chance most brain tumours cause headaches and seizures.2. MALIGNANT BRAIN TUMOURS are cancerous and may be either primary or secondary. Most common malignant brain tumours are spread to the brain from tumours outside the brain known as secondary tumours. Primary malignant tumours, or high-grade brain tumours (grade 3 or 4) which start in the brain, are generally fast-growing. These must be treated as soon as possible to prevent them spreading to, and damaging, other parts of your brain and spinal cord. When possible malignant tumours are removed by surgery after opening the skull, but many malignant growths are inaccessible or too extensive for removalBut although brain tumours are not always malignant they are all still serious, principally because of the build up of pressure in the brain and the compression of adjoining brain areas that happen as the tumour expands. Whether it is a maligant or a benign brain tumour, the pressure of the expanding tumour can increase pressure within the skull thereby causing very nasty headaches, vomiting, visual disturbances as well as impairment of mental functioning.Most brain tumours whether benign or malignant are thought to develop from unusual and random changes in somebody's brain cells, but what causes this to happen is not known. Known factors that have been discovered to increase your risk of developing a brain tumour, include age (the older you are, the more likely you are to get a brain tumour), having an inherited disease such as neurofibromatosis, being exposed to high doses of radiation or having a weakened immune system such as through medication or having HIV/AIDS.
What is brain tumer?
A brain tumour is essentially brain cancer, a growth that develops on or within the brain that can either be benign or malignant. There are a huge variety of brain tumours, and their level of seriousness depends entirely upon where they are located and how advanced they have become. Most tumours that grow on the outside surface of the brain, and even some that grow inside it, can be removed surgically. Some of those that cannot be surgically removed can be treated with either chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of the two. Even if a complete cure is not possible in these cases, it can sometimes be possible to retard the growth of the tumour and prolong the life of the patient. So although some brain tumours are incurable and can be fatal, these are nowadays in a minority- the majority of brain tumours can be succesfully treated.
What is the use of thermal imaging to detect tumours in the brain?
remember it for ever as 40% of it is by imaging
How do you do spell neurooncology?
Neurooncology is the correct spelling. It is the study of the brain and spinal cord neoplasims (tumours).
What does it mean when you detect the smell of sulfur when it's not present?

How many people have brain surgery?
People with brain cancer or Have tumors in their brain
How many people have died in the last 10 years from brain tumours?
It is difficult to provide an exact number. Brain tumors can be a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, but the number of deaths can vary each year due to factors like advancements in treatment and early detection. It is recommended to refer to official health statistics for the most accurate information.
What is neuro scan for?
a neuro scan can be used for anything from mental health issues to diagnosing brain tumours. sometimes they are just taken to see everything up there (the brain lol) is going as it should!
Mobile phones causes brain cancer for and against?
no but they can help them to grow mobile phones use a frequencey that connects to a different frequency and sends radio waves to each other this can trigger a cell in your brain that give you brain tumours or even brain damage mobile phones use a frequencey that connects to a different frequency and sends radio waves to each other this can trigger a cell in your brain that give you brain tumours or even brain damage this is not how phones affect you this is o2 by the way :) and it is rubish shut it you penis!
