Ho Chi Minh City), said that brain cancer is an extremely dangerous disease because it directly affects the function of the brain and nervous system.

Brain cancer easily metastasizes to nearby healthy cell areas. The disease develops rapidly, is prone to recurrence and directly affects the patient's life.

According to Dr. Tan Si, brain cancer can appear at any age, especially in people over 70 years old and children under 15 years old.

Brain cancer may not have obvious signs in the early stages, but as the tumor grows, you may experience some symptoms.

1. Persistent headache of unknown cause

This is the most common sign of a brain tumor. The pain usually appears in the morning, getting worse when coughing, sneezing, or changing positions. Many people subjectively think that this is just a stress headache, but if this condition persists and does not get relieved with regular pain medication, you should see a doctor early.

2. Nausea and vomiting without digestive problems

You may feel nauseous or vomit frequently, especially in the morning, even if you don't eat or drink anything strange. The reason is that the pressure from the tumor affects the vomiting control center in the brain.

3. Visual disturbances

If you suddenly experience blurred vision, double vision, or transient vision loss, don't rush to think it's just an eye problem. Tumors in the brain can compress the optic nerve, causing vision to be affected.

As brain tumors grow, it can put pressure on areas that control the body's balance. You may find yourself prone to falling, staggering even when there are no obstacles, or feeling lightheaded, like motion sickness.

5. Seizures, abnormal seizures

7. Numbness, muscle weakness in the limbs

If you feel that your arms or legs are weak, have difficulty moving, or have numbness without sitting for a long time or sleeping in the wrong position, the tumor may be affecting the motor nerves.

8. Difficulty speaking, hearing worse than usual

You may have trouble speaking, slurred pronunciation, or stuttering that you didn't have before. Some people also see a decrease in hearing, tinnitus, or hearing loss on one side.

9. The body is always tired, abnormally sleepy

You may feel tired for a long time, even though you have slept enough, you still do not feel awake. This occurs when brain tumors affect the central nervous system, reducing alertness and concentration.

"Brain tumors are very dangerous, whether benign or malignant. The disease has a high risk of leaving certain complications, seriously affecting daily life, can shorten the patient's life or even threaten life," said this doctor.

Regarding brain cancer treatment, Dr. Tan Si said that doctors often combine two or more different treatment methods at the same time to increase effectiveness. Surgery is the most common treatment, which aims to remove as many cancers as possible without causing damage to healthy parts of the brain. In addition, it can be treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy and supportive drugs. Brain tumors are at risk of recurrence, especially malignant brain tumors.

Dr. Tan Si added that brain cancer cannot be completely prevented because the main cause of brain tumors has not yet been determined.

However, the disease can be prevented by minimizing potential risks such as: Proactive general health check-ups, periodic neurological health, especially when there are abnormal signs; Give up the habit of drinking, smoking, staying up late, and living in moderation.
