Brain tumors affect approximately 17,000 people every year. Descriptions of brain tumors often include the terms malignant and benign. These terms are used to describe the status of brain tumors. The term malignant refers to brain tumors that are cancerous in nature. The term benign is used to describe brain tumors that are non-cancerous.
Brain tumors are also often referred to as either primary brain tumors or metastatic brain tumors. Primary brain tumors are brain tumors that originate within the brain. Metastatic or secondary brain tumors are brain tumors that develop in another part of the body and then metastasize to the brain.

Symptoms of Brain Tumors
The following are some of the most common symptoms associated with brain tumors. These symptoms are general and may affect people differently depending on the size and location of the brain tumors. Possible symptoms may include headache, vomiting (usually in the morning), nausea, personality changes, irritability, drowsiness, and depression.
Although these symptoms can be the result of brain tumors, they can also be the result of a less serious illness. If any of these symptoms persist, make it a point to visit your doctor as soon as possible. Only a medical professional can diagnose the cause of your symptoms.
