Brain Cancer Treatment in North Carolina

Brain Tumors

A brain tumor is a disease in which cells grow uncontrollably in the brain. The term brain cancer usually refers to malignant tumors. These can invade nearby tissue and can spread (or metastasize) to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not spread, but it can continue to grow and press structures near it, causing symptoms.

There are two main types of brain cancer:

• Primary brain tumor: This cancer begins in the brain. It can be either malignant or benign. A small benign tumor in a bad location can cause significant problems.
• Secondary or metastatic brain tumor: This cancer has spread to the brain from another site in the body. All metastatic tumors are malignant
