WHAT IS A BRAIN TUMOUR?

A brain tumour is the development of abnormal cells in the brain. There are mainly two types of brain tumours:
1. Primary brain tumour( comes from the brain)
2. Secondary brain tumour( cause due to the spread of different cancer)

Studies have shown that primary brain tumours are 70% non-cancerous and 30% cancerous which most of the time are cured through surgery. As the cause of brain tumours is less than 5% but that doesn’t mean it is harmful. Some Brain tumours can cause serious cancer which cannot be cured at all.

Nowadays, operations are mostly held through a microscope with computer guidance which is also called navigation.
