Do you know that cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, and will soon overtake heart disease as the #1 killer?
Cancers of the brain are the result of abnormal growths of cells in the brain. Brain fatalities can occur from main brain cells, the cells that form other brain components (for example, membranes, arteries), or from the development of malignancy cells that develop in other organs and which have passed on to the brain through the bloodstream (metastatic or supplementary brain tumor).
Despite billions of dollars devoted to cancer research across the globe, we are no closer to a cure for cancer yet. Sadly, we are not close to winning the war against cancer.
Malignant tumors grow and pass on aggressively, invading, and growing into regions of healthy cells, and then overpowering them by firmly taking their space, bloodstream, and nutritional vitamins.
Sometimes people confuse brain aneurysms with brain tumors. Brain aneurysms aren't tumors; they may be areas in the brain arteries or blood vessels that are abnormally poor and expand to create a ballooning or growth of the vessel wall structure.
Patients diagnosed with cancer, as well as their family and friends, are left with a difficult decision to follow the normal standard care which are chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.
You, as well as your family members, will have many questions about brain cancers, the treatment, part results, and the long-term perspective.
This book is a "must have" if you or a loved one is fighting cancer!
