Brain Disease #10: Tumors
We have made good progress in the fight against cancer, but there is still a long way to go. Many cancers are now treatable but we are still more or less at the whim of many others. Brain cancers can be particularly difficult to deal with and they will cause tumors that can grow out of control.
A growing tumor in the brain can lead to loss of mobility, loss of cognitive ability and even death. Sometimes it will be possible to remove a tumor, hopefully leaving the patient able to make a full recovery. In some cases, the tumor can be benign and will require no surgery or other treatment.
