The symptoms of brain cancer depend on tumor size, type, and location. Brain cancer symptoms may be caused when a tumor presses on a nerve or damages a certain area of the brain. They also may be caused when the brain swells or fluid builds up within the skull.
These are the most common symptoms of brain tumors:
Headaches (usually worse in the morning)
Nausea or vomiting
Changes in speech, vision, or hearing
Problems balancing or walking
Changes in mood, personality, or ability to concentrate
Problems with memory
Muscle jerking or twitching (seizures or convulsions)
Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
These symptoms are not sure signs of a brain cancer. Other conditions also could cause these problems. Anyone with these possible symptoms of brain cnacer should see a doctor as soon as possible. Only a doctor can diagnose and treat the problem.
