What is brain tumor?
A brain tumor is a collection, or growth, of abnormal cells in your brain. They can be cancerous or non-cancerous. Cancerous brain tumors can begin either in the brain (primary tumor) or spread from another cancerous organ (secondary tumor). Primary brain tumors are caused when abnormal changes occur to the DNA of brain cells.
