Does brain tumor cause death?
There are two main ways to die of a brain tumor... (that I can think of off the top of my head) which are: 1) metastasis, 2) brain damage/death. Cancer of the brain can break apart and bits can travel to other areas of the body (depending upon which type of brain tumor) and set up camp there... which can just eat away at the body until the body either starves to death in some area, or there is an organ failure of some kind. The second way is that a brain tumor encroaches upon an important area of the brain, and so that part of the brain stops functioning... if it is the part that controls the lungs, then the body dies. Also, as the cancer gets bigger it smashes the rest of the brain and any part of the brain can just give up at any time, and then the body dies.
WHAT IS adipose tumor?

What kind of brain tumor is more likely to be fatal one that metastasize from another area of the body or one that has grown from the brain?
A glioblastoma multiforma tumor ("glioblastoma") is the fastest spreading cancer of the brain and is also the most deadly. As its name suggests, it affects glial cells - mostly astrocytes - so a glioblastoma can develop and metastasize anywhere in the brain

Brain cancer is also called as brain tumor?
Yes, brain cancer is often referred to as brain tumor, but it's important to understand the distinction between the two terms. A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain or central nervous system. Not all brain tumors are cancerous; some are benign (non-cancerous), while others are malignant (cancerous). Benign brain tumors grow slowly and typically do not invade surrounding tissues or spread to other parts of the body, although they can still cause symptoms depending on their size and location. Malignant brain tumors, on the other hand, are cancerous and can grow rapidly, invade nearby tissues, and spread to other parts of the brain or spinal cord (metastasize). Brain cancer specifically refers to malignant tumors that originate in the brain or central nervous system. These cancerous growths arise from abnormal cells within the brain tissue and can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastasizing from cancer elsewhere in the body). Primary brain cancer accounts for the majority of brain tumor cases and includes various types such as gliomas, meningiomas, and medulloblastomas.
