Brain tumors in young children shed a protracted gloom on its survivors. The preliminary study delving into the permanent effect of these tumors – the highly prevalent solid tumours in infancy – reveals that those managing to survive them have continual cognitive issues. Also when such survivors were evaluated against their siblings and survivors of other cancer forms; they had inferior levels of learning, job standing and pay packets. This startling revelation was part of a report that was circulated by the American Psychological Association. The study appearing in the November edition of Neuropsychology states that with the plausible risks confronting brain or central nervous system (CNS) survivors, programs for supporting their trouble-free shift to self-sufficient adulthood are  [...]

Cancer is the word set aside for malignant tumors. The growth and spread of malignant tumors is quite aggressive, that tends to overpower normal cells by occupying their location, blood and nutrients. (tumor cells have requirements of blood and nutrients quite analogous to all cells present in the body.) Benign tumors are those that do not proliferate belligerently. Generally, a benign tumor is less grave as compared to a malignant tumor, however it does lead to several problems in the brain. Primary Brain Cancers The brain comprises of several kinds of cells. Few of the brain cancers occur due to the transformation of one kind  [...]
