Brain cancer symptoms

The symptoms of brain cancer vary depending on where the tumor grows. The main symptoms are as follows, and a patient may develop one or more of these symptoms:
- Persistent headache
- Nausea and vomiting
- Sudden change in vision
- Change in the state of consciousness, such as becoming somnolent, comatose, unresponsive and irritable
- Loss of sense of balance
- Urination or defecation disorders
Brain cancer risk factors

Causes of most brain cancers are unknown, while genetic or environmental factors may play a role. However, persons engaged in certain jobs are more likely to develop cancer, such as gas station workers, employees of pharmaceutical factories and those who handle preservatives. As for whether long-term use of mobile phones would increase the risk of brain cancer, there is no clear evidence at present.
