Brain cancer of the brain is a whole group of various intracranial malignancies that are caused by the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. Despite the fact that such a pathology is very rare, the consequences of it in most cases are very deplorable, therefore, at the first alarming symptoms of the disease, a thorough examination should be carried out. Typically, the type of tumor is determined by the cells from which it is formed, and the first symptoms of brain cancer depend on the histological variant and the localization of the lesion.
Risk factors for the occurrence of cancer diseases
The main "provocateurs" of cancer are:
- work in hazardous industries;
- heredity;
- exposure to radiation;
- smoking;
- HIV infection;
- head injury.
Signs of brain cancer
The clinical manifestations of the brain tumor are affected by its location, as well as the degree of compression and destruction of tissues. As the disease progresses, there is a general cerebral symptomatology, which is caused by intracranial hypertension and a violation of hemodynamics. The focal symptom of brain cancer completely depends on the location of the tumor. Focal brain oncology symptoms
- Decreased sensitivity, in which a person loses the ability to perceive tactile, painful and thermal external stimuli.
- Decreased muscular activity, the appearance of paresis.
- Epileptic seizures that occur as a result of the formation of a congestive focus of excitation in the cerebral cortex.
- Hearing loss and loss of ability to recognize speech.
- This symptom of brain cancer, as auditory and visual disorders, occurs when the tumor is located near the optic nerve.
- Violation of speech and writing.
- Vegetative disorders that manifest themselves in weakness, fatigue, fluctuations in blood pressure and pulse.
- Hormonal failures.
- Coordination disorder occurs when the midbrain or cerebellum is affected.
- Psychomotor disorders.
- Senseless hallucinations.
Brainstrake symptoms
Intensive and prolonged headache is the first symptom of brain cancer and is a distinguishing feature of all cancers. As a rule, painful sensations in this case do not lend themselves to relief, relief brings only a decrease in intracranial pressure. In addition, a person may experience vomiting and nausea, especially during meals, as well as severe dizziness that occurs due to compression of the cerebellar structures. This condition can also be triggered by the growth of a tumor, the increase in the size of which leads to a deterioration of the blood supply.
If you have at least one symptom of brain cancer, immediately contact the hospital. As a rule, the diagnosis of oncological diseases is carried out with the help of histological examination. Only after a complex neurosurgical operation to take the necessary material can you diagnose brain cancer, the treatment of which does not always lead to the desired results.
