Symptoms of brain cancer are quite variable because each part of the brain has different, specific functions. Therefore, some brain cancer symptoms will vary depending on which part of the brain they involve. The growing tumor can damage normal brain tissue and cause dysfunction of that part of the brain.
Whatever the function of that part of the brain is will become dysfunctional. For example, a cancer growing in the part of the brain that is responsible for movement of the opposite side of the body (called the motor cortex) can cause weakness or paralysis in part of the body on the opposite side.
However, in addition, there are some common general symptoms of brain cancer that occur frequently in many patients. Below, many of these common symptoms of brain cancer as well as some of the more common specific symptoms that are caused by damage to specific parts of the brain are discussed.
