1. Brain tumor

2. primary tumor
a term used to describe the original, or first, tumor in the
body. Cancer cells from a primary tumor may spread to
other parts of the body and form new, or secondary,
tumors. This is called metastasis.
• Primary brain
• primary intracranial

3. Primary tumor…
Brain tumors are classified depending on:
• Location of the tumor
• Type of tissue involved
• Whether they are noncancerous (benign) or cancerous
(malignant)

4. Primary brain…
A brain tumor, known as an intracranial tumor, is
an abnormal mass of tissue in which cells grow
and multiply uncontrollably, seemingly unchecked
by the mechanisms that control normal cells.
When DNA of a cell is damaged in the brain, it will
grow and multiply till it damage the brain.

5. Starts in the glial cells of the brain or spine, it is non-neuronal cells in
the central nervous system that do not produce electrical impulse. A
glioma can affect your brain function and be life-threatening
depending on its location and rate of growth. Gliomas are one of the
most common types of primary brain tumors. ... In general, glioma
treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy,
targeted therapy and experimental clinical trials.

6. Primary intracranial ( benign)
If the nervous system is damaged ( then it
won’t be healed) the cells from it will
come out and go to the brain and
damages it. Benign tumor is a mass of
cells that lack the ability to either invade
neighboring tissue or metastasize.

7. Secondary tumor
A term used to describe cancer that has spread
(metastasized) from the place where it first started to
another part of the body. Secondary tumors are the same
type of cancer as the original (primary) cancer. For example,
cancer cells may spread from the breast (primary cancer) to
form new tumors in the lung (secondary tumor). The cancer
cells in the lung are just like the ones in the breast. Also
called secondary cancer.
( from lung, breast, melanomas, kidneys, and colon)

8. Effects of cranial tumor…
headache
Vomiting

9. Seizures
Papilledema or papilledema is
optic disc swelling that is caused
by increased intracranial pressure

10. Unsteady gait
loss of sphincter control
