One of the most worrisome illnesses is
cancer. Whenever we hear of it, we get hopeless in an instant. We also
fear hearing about tumors.
Why? It is because people associate cancer with tumors as well so it also frightens them that the tumor can be malignant or precancerous, whichever is applicable.

In our world now, nothing is stable as
illnesses can spring up in an instant. Our environment can also cause us
to have this besides our genes. So healthy living is of great help. But
what if we are diagnosed with a brain tumor or brain cancer? What does
this imply? What are the differences?
A brain tumor can grow in any part of the
brain. These are cells that can be both cancerous or non-cancerous.
Cancerous cells are termed as malignant while non-cancerous are termed
as benign. Brain tumors only become a problem at the later stages since
in the early stages the symptoms are not being manifested. When there is
already intracranial pressure, then this is the time that the symptoms
will manifest such as dizziness, vomiting, and many others.
Brain cancer, on the other hand, is a
confirmed brain tumor that is malignant or cancerous. In this type of
cancer, certain manifestations will already occur such as; headache,
blurring of vision, vomiting, and nausea.
In order to confirm these illnesses, CT
scans or MRIs can be used to diagnose these illnesses. Brain tumors do
not require immediate medical intervention unless it is a malignant type
of tumor and unless it blocks certain parts of the brain increasing the
pressure inside the head. Brain cancer, on the other hand, is the
opposite of brain tumors as it requires immediate intervention such as
surgery. Radiation and chemotherapy can also be used.
Thanks to modern science, these two
illnesses can be diagnosed immediately through the use of these modern
body scanners. As humans, it is our major responsibility to know and
avoid such possibilities in which we can acquire cancer. We must live
our lives well, and we must fully take care of ourselves.
Summary:
1.Not all brain tumors are cancerous while brain cancer is a cancer with malignant tumors.
2.Brain tumors do not require immediate medical intervention while brain cancer needs prompt and emergency interventions.
3.Brain cancer manifests headache, nausea, and vomiting while brain tumors do not have any symptoms unless they are in the late stages.
