What is a Brain Tumour?
A brain tumour is a mass (lump) formed by an abnormal growth of cells in the brain.
Brain tumours can cause problems if they press on the brain or grow into the brain tissue.
Not all brain tumours are cancerous (malignant). Grades 1 and 2 are benign (not cancerous) – although they can come back and become malignant.
Symptoms will depend on which area of the brain is affected by the tumour, as different areas of the brain control different activities.
There are many different types of brain tumour, depending on which cells are affected.
