No diagnosis of a brain tumor doesn't mean that it will result in fatality. There are many different types of benign tumors that can affect the brain that wouldn't result in fatality even if considered inoperable. However, some of these can impact certain body functions depending on size.
Aphasia is caused by a brain injury, as may occur during a traumatic accident or when the brain is deprived of oxygen during a stroke. It may also be caused by a brain tumor, a disease such as Alzheimer's.
Seizures can be a definite sign, particularly if they are a new symptom. Headaches can be caused by a tumor, but most people with headaches do not have a tumor. However, persistent headaches that are worst in the morning, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, or that cause double vision can be signs of a brain tumor.
Aphasia is primarily caused by stroke (a cardiovascular accident), however, it can also be caused by a brain tumor, traumatic injury or infection.
A brain tumor that has metastasized from another area of the body is more likely to be fatal compared to one that has grown in the brain. Metastatic brain tumors are often more aggressive and have a poorer prognosis because they are indicative of advanced cancer elsewhere in the body. Tumors that originate in the brain are typically classified based on their location, size, and growth rate, and their prognosis can vary based on these factors as well.
