Brain cancer symptoms

If you experience this symptom, don't ignore it, doctors say: It could signal a brain tumor. Here's what you need to know, and when to worry.

A lesser-known symptom of a brain tumor, and one which may be ignored, is memory loss. "The site of numbness and tingling will depend on where the tumor is located within the brain." The term "brain tumor" doesn't refer to just one kind of tumor. Your brain can send you warning signals about a tumor in many ways. "But whether they're cancerous or not, brain tumors can impact brain function and your health if they grow large enough to press on surrounding nerves, blood vessels and tissue," warns the Cleveland Clinic. Losing the ability to hear in a very specific way, for example, can be a sign of a brain tumor.
