Description about Brain Tumour and Brain cancer

  One of the most worrisome illnesses is cancer. Whenever we hear of it, we get hopeless in an instant. We also fear hearing about tumours.

Why? 

It is because people associate cancer with tumours as well so it also frightens them that the tumour can be malignant or precancerous, whichever is applicable.

In our world now, nothing is stable as illnesses can spring up in an instant. Our environment can also cause us to have this besides our genes. So healthy living is of great help. But what if we are diagnosed with a brain tumour or brain cancer? What does this imply? What are the differences?

A brain tumour can grow in any part of the brain. These are cells that can be both cancerous or non-cancerous. Cancerous cells are termed as malignant while non-cancerous are termed as benign. Brain tumours only become a problem at the later stages since in the early stages the symptoms are not being manifested. When there is already intra-cranial pressure, then this is the time that the symptoms will manifest such as dizziness, vomiting, and many others. 

Brain cancer, on the other hand, is a confirmed brain tumour that is malignant or cancerous. In this type of cancer, certain manifestations will already occur such as; headache, blurring of vision, vomiting, and nausea.

In order to confirm these illnesses, CT scans or MRI can be used to diagnose these illnesses. Brain tumours do not require immediate medical intervention unless it is a malignant type of tumour and unless it blocks certain parts of the brain increasing the pressure inside the head. Brain cancer, on the other hand, is the opposite of brain tumours as it requires immediate intervention such as surgery. Radiation and chemotherapy can also be used.

Thanks to modern science, these two illnesses can be diagnosed immediately through the use of these modern body scanners. As humans, it is our major responsibility to know and avoid such possibilities in which we can acquire cancer. We must live our lives well, and we must fully take care of ourselves.

Summary:

1.Not all brain tumours are cancerous while brain cancer is a cancer with malignant tumours.
2.Brain tumours do not require immediate medical intervention while brain cancer needs prompt and emergency interventions.
3.Brain cancer manifests headache, nausea, and vomiting while brain tumours do not have any symptoms unless they are in the late stages.
