Understanding Primary Brain Tumors
Primary brain tumors originate directly from brain tissue or its supporting structures. They include a wide range of tumor types with varying growth patterns and levels of aggressiveness. Some remain localized, while others infiltrate surrounding tissues, making complete removal difficult.
These tumors are classified based on their cell of origin (such as glial cells or meninges) and graded according to aggressiveness. Low-grade tumors tend to grow slowly, whereas high-grade tumors are rapidly progressive and invasive. Their impact depends largely on their location within the brain and their interaction with nearby structures.
