About the causes, symptoms and treatment aspects of the Brain tumours' patients, Aleksandar Zivkovic spoke with the neurologist Professor Dr Ostoja Vucic.
The symptoms of brain tumour vary widely and depend on what part of the brain the tumour is pressing on. Sometimes, when a tumour develops slowly, the symptoms develop so gradually that they are scarcely noticed. As a tumour grows inside the skull it presses on the surrounding brain tissues, creating pressure. In addition, benign and malignant tumours may cause the brain around them to swell. A headache is often the first symptom. Most headaches are not due to brain tumours; however, you should ask your doctor about headaches, which are severe, persistent, or recurrent.
