Primary brain tumors can be either malignant (contain cancer cells) or benign (do not contain cancer cells). We are going to discuss the early warning symptoms of brain tumor. However, sometimes you may not experience these symptoms of brain tumor or might experience it under another medical condition. It is advisable to see a doctor if you experience any of these signs of brain tumor
