There are two main types of brain cancer: primary tumors, which originate in the brain and metastatic brain cancer which spreads throughout your brain until it has completely taken over. These types of brain cancer can effect the way that you walk, talk, see, and hear. Both of these cancers can also effect your memories and other parts of your personal mind. The rates of infection for primary cancer is 15-20 people out of every 100,000. With primary brain cancer, three of these people are children under the age of 14. Metastatic brain cancer has the same rates of infection as primary brain cancer, but takes much longer to develop.

The symptoms for these cancerous are the same as well: severe headaches (worse in the morning), trouble with sight or hearing, seizures, having trouble with writing, nausea, and vomiting. Most people that develop brain cancer at an early adult age will survive it for 10 years or less. There is one treatment for these specific types of cancer and that is Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy will not destroy the cancerous but will gradually make them smaller and eventually force the cancerous to die.
