Why would you think: that you would have a brain tumor? Headaches? Well, that's the 2nd most common human ailment in the world behind cavities so not a great symptom to worry about relatively speaking. How about progressive focal neurological symptoms? Now, that's something to worry about. Do you have any of 'em? In the U.S. 5-6 people in 100,000 will be diagnosed with brain tumor every year So that's 0.005%.
