What is brain cancer? Brain cancer is also called intracranial tumor or brain tumor. It includes primary tumors in the brain substance or its adjacent tissues (blood vessels, choroid, pituitary gland, pineal gland, etc.). There are also metastatic tumors or sarcomas that have metastasized to the brain. It also includes inflammatory tumors such as tuberculosis and parasitic cysts, and various space-occupying lesions that can cause progressive increase in intracranial pressure and compress brain tissue. Brain tumors include: glioma (including medulloblastoma, glioblastoma multiforme, astrocyte cell tumor, oligodendroglioma, ependymoma), meningioma, acoustic neuroma, cerebrovascular tumor (including cerebrovascular malformation, cerebral hemangioblastoma), craniopharyngioma, pituitary adenoma, cholesteatoma, pineal tumor, third ventricle glial cyst, intracranial metastasis and many other types. Cause: Mostly due to fright or anger, or crying and depression, which make the circulation of Qi and blood disorder, weaken the resistance, and pathogenic factors take advantage of the opportunity to enter and develop into cancer. Symptoms: The appearance of brain tumor symptoms varies mainly according to the location of the tumor and the nature of the disease. Most people have headaches, which are usually intermittent at first and more likely to occur in the morning. Later, the symptoms gradually worsen and the number of headaches gradually increases. Many patients vomit, often suddenly. The nature of vomiting is mostly jet-like vomiting, and most do not cause nausea, and it is not related to diet. Most of the attacks occur at night or in the morning on an empty stomach. This type of vomiting is sometimes associated with headaches, especially when the patient has a severe headache. Children with cerebellar tumors often experience vomiting in the early stages. |
