of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Brain tumors can arise from various types of cells within
the brain or spinal cord, and they can be either benign (non-cancerous)
or malignant (cancerous). Malignant brain
tumors, also known as brain cancer, can grow rapidly and invade
surrounding brain tissue, leading to neurological symptoms such as headaches, seizures, changes in vision or speech, and motor deficits.
