Brain Cancer Quiz

Symptoms of brain tumors include, but are not limited to, headaches, seizures, personality changes, eye weakness, nausea or vomiting, difficulty speaking or comprehending, and short-term memory loss.

The most common brain tumors are known as secondary tumors, meaning they have metastasized, or spread, to the brain from other parts of the body such as the lungs, breast, colon, or prostate.

Most primary brain tumors have no known cause and are linked to no known risk factors.

Most people diagnosed with a primary brain tumor do not have any known risk factors, however, the following risk factors and genetic conditions have been shown to increase a person's chances of developing one: the risk of a brain tumor increases as you age, people who have been exposed to ionizing radiation, and rare genetic disorders such as Von Hippel-Lindau disease, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and Neurofibromatosis.

The most prevalent brain tumor types in adults are Meningiomas and Gliomas.
