The declaration is based on the evidence in the study to those who used mobile phones extensively over a long period. They found that high intensity use of cell phones resulted in an increased...
Brain Cancer Diagnosis and Treatments

These include:CAT (Computed Axial Tomography) scan: uses x-rays and a computer to create detailed images of the inside of your brain. MRT (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan: uses magnetic fields and a computer to create detailed images of the inside of your brain.Both the MRT and the CAT (CT) scan will make...
Signs and Symptoms of Brain Cancer

The signs and symptoms of brain cancer may vary from person to person depend on the brain tumor’s size and which part of the brain is affected. In most cases, the symptoms may be caused by pressure on the brain as tumor grows within the limited space in the skull. They also may caused by swelling and a buildup of fluid around the tumor, a condition called edema. This means that brain tumors can...
Brain Cancer Causes and Risk Factors

Brain cancer is a malignant tumors growth in the tissues of the brain. Brain cancers can arise from primary brain cells, the cells that originated in the brain or secondary brain cells, which originated elsewhere in the body and spread to the brain through bloodstream or called metastatic brain cancer.Although many growths in the brain are generally called brain tumors, not all brain tumors are malignant...
Epilepsy Increases Brain Tumors Risk

If you suffer from epilepsy, then it is better to seek medical help immediately because if left untreated, epilepsy can increase the risk of developing brain tumors. A new study suggests that people with epilepsy are much more likely to be diagnosed with brain tumors. The researchers noted that epileptic seizures may indicate the present of a very early stage of brain tumor or tumor that has not been...
