How fast does a brain tumor grow?

If you go to the clinic in a timely manner, doctors are able to remove the cancer, but in the final stages, treatment becomes difficult, so it is very important to detect cancer in time and go to the hospital.

What types of tumors are there?

First of all, you need to know that there are two types of tumors:

• malignant;
• benign.

A benign tumor differs from a malignant one in its slow rate of development, and also in the fact that the cells of such a tumor cannot spread to other organs. In most cases, such tumors are removed without harm to the body.

Malignant tumors develop quickly, often asymptomatic in the first stages, and can form secondary foci of cancer development.

Symptoms indicating the possible development of cancer are:

1. dizziness;
2. fatigue, fatigability;
3. apathy;
4. headache .

How quickly can cancer develop?

There are four stages of cancer development , and each of them has certain symptoms.
Stage I is characterized by slow development, as well as the fact that in most cases it is asymptomatic. In rare cases, nausea may occur, which is practically unrelated to food intake, as well as headaches that occur quite often. From the first stage, brain cancer progresses to the second.

Stage II of cancer development is characterized by much more pronounced symptoms, it is difficult not to notice them. This is first of all:

1. vomiting;
2. dizziness;
3. mild visual hallucinations;
4. convulsions.

At stage II of tumor development, cancer cells can already affect other tissues located in the neighborhood. Cancer cells no longer look like normal cells, but they still grow very slowly.

Stage III cancer may be considered inoperable, as the tumor develops into a severe form of cancer. Characterized by the following symptoms:

1. limbs begin to go numb;
2. problems with memory, logic, thinking;
3. horizontal nystagmus;
4. severe dizziness, problems with balance;
5. convulsions, epileptic seizures.

At this stage of cancer, cancer cells no longer bear any resemblance to healthy cells. They can reproduce, grow quite quickly and spread to neighboring tissues. From the third stage the tumor very quickly passes into the fourth. This occurs due to the rapid growth of cancer cells.

Stage IV is no longer subject to surgery. This is the stage when a person practically dies before our eyes. Only in rare cases can surgery save a person’s life, but at this stage only partial removal of the cancerous tumor is possible.

Cancer cells grow rapidly and spread to other tissues. They affect vital areas of the brain and the person cannot continue to live normally. Occasionally, a person falls into a coma and never comes out of it.
