A member asked:

How do i know that my constant sinus issues are not a brain tumour?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Brain cancer test: Doctors can suspect a brain tumor by getting the information from your history or by performing a neurological exam. CT scan of the brain with contrast dye or MRI of the brain can be ordered to confirm any suspicious findings.
