Brain and nervous system cancer affects the brain, spinal cord, or nerves and can impact the body’s ability to function properly. Early symptoms such as persistent headaches, vision problems, seizures, or difficulty in balance should not be ignored. Awareness, timely diagnosis, and proper medical care play a vital role in effective treatment and recovery.
