Brain cancer refers to various malignancies within the skull, including primary tumors that originate in the brain and secondary (metastatic) tumors that spread from other body parts. There are over 120 types of brain tumors, with an increased risk …
Brain cancer involves abnormal cells in the brain, categorized as malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous), primarily affecting the central nervous system (CNS). With over 120 types of brain tumors, their growth can lead to increased …
Prolactinomas are benign tumors of the pituitary gland that produce excess prolactin, impacting hormonal health and leading to various symptoms. The pituitary gland, responsible for hormone regulation, produces prolactin, which is crucial for …
The article “Understanding Pituitary Tumors: What You Need to Know” discusses pituitary tumors, abnormal growths in the pituitary gland that can be benign but may cause significant health issues through hormone overproduction or pressure …
The article discusses common noncancerous breast conditions, their symptoms, and how they differ from breast cancer. Key benign conditions include breast cysts, fibroadenomas, fibrocystic changes, hyperplasia, intraductal papillomas, and mastitis. …
