Early Symptoms Of Brain Cancer

Before you understand more about brain cancer symptoms, you need to understand the structure of the human brain first. Should you need to learn about early symptoms of brain cancer so that you can be sure about yourself or about the people around you. By knowing about early symptoms of brain cancer earlier, it is expected that appropriate treatment can be carried out to early symptoms of brain cancer. The brain is an important organ that regulates all activities / movements of the human body. Imagine you're on a motorcycle, how many activities you do? See the road, drive, look left-right, look in the mirror, to balance, not to mention her thinkers about what to eat tonight ... In one second, there are thousands of things that happen in your brain (which occurs either consciously or unconsciously).

The brain can be multitasking like this because all activity is regulated by different brain parts (each part has a different function). In general, the human brain is divided into three parts, namely a large brain (cerebrum), cerebellum (cerebellum) and brain stem (brain stem). Each section is subdivided into smaller sections, in which each small part is divided again, and so on. Fills the space between the brain fluid (cerebrospinal fluid), while the exterior is protected by three layers of the lining of the brain (meninges) and bone of the skull.

 Well, every part of the brain can be affected by tumor / cancer. Although a benign tumor, but because of the growth in the brain, can be very dangerous. The tumor can interfere with the function and structure of the central nervous system damage, because it lies within a finite cavity (cavity of the skull). Along with the development of these tumors, brain tissue will be more depressed. Though the volume of cranial cavity is very limited and may not be getting bigger. This is what makes the headaches / dizziness as an early symptom of brain cancer.

Baseline characteristics of brain cancer varies widely, depending on which part of the brain affected. For example, headache or feel nauseated. Here are the symptoms of brain cancer that you should be aware of:

    headache accompanied by nausea to vomiting spray
    reduced visibility
    decreased awareness or behavior change
    speech impairment
    hearing loss
    impaired walking / balance of the body
    nerves
    weakened limbs or seizures
    in infants are usually large prominent crown

Remember, the above list is only a symptom. Although you are experiencing one or more of the above symptoms, you may not be affected by brain cancer. To be sure, you should be checked immediately by a physician neurologist and undergo a further examination such as CT scan, MRI, Angiogram, Myelogram, spinal tap and biopsy.
