Brain Tumor Treatment Cost In India
A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in or around the brain that can be either benign (non‑cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Brain tumors can affect critical brain functions such as movement, speech, vision, memory, and coordination. Symptoms may include headaches, seizures, vision problems, weakness, or changes in behavior, depending on the tumor’s size and location.
