These vital activities include thought, speech and body movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the cells of the brain grow abnormally, it may lead to the formation of <\/span><b>brain tumour <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(mass of odd cells) which may hinder the proper functioning of the CNS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many types of brain tumours have been identified among which some may be benign or non cancerous while others may be malignant or cancerous. Apart from growing inside the brain, tumours can also grow in other parts of the body and then spread to the brain. This is how secondary or metastatic brain tumour occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development of brain tumour depends on the location, size and growth rate of the cells which reveal how a brain tumour will affect the functioning of the nervous system. Early diagnosis of the tumour is an important factor in the outcome of the prognosis of tumour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Types of brain tumours<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Brain tumours are broadly categorized into two types:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primary Brain Tumours<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondary Brain Tumours<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Primary brain tumours:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of brain tumour can originate from nerve cells, brain cells, membranes or meninges around the brain or nervous glands. Gliomas and meningiomas are the most common type of brain tumours found in adults. It can be both benign and malignant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gliomas arise from the nuroglial cells or glial cells of the brain. The types of tumours which originate from the glial cells may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Astrocytic tumours which arise from the star-shaped cells of the brain called astrocytes. In adults, astrocytic tumours generally arise in the brain cerebrum.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oligodendroglial tumours which originate from the frontal temporal lobes of the brain. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glioblastomas which originate within the supportive brain tissue.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meninges in the brain are the site of occurrence of the meningiomas. It mostly affects individuals between 40 and 70 years of age.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Secondary brain tumours:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These show the property of metastasis; that is, they grow in one body part and then spread to your brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and kidney cancer are some of the types of cancers that may metastasize to the brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Risk factors of brain tumors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following risk factors may be the reason for the development of brain tumours: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Family History:<\/strong> Brain tumours are rarely genetically inherited.
