Would you please help describe the usual symptoms of a brain tumor?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: The signs and symptoms are variable, and dependent on the location of the tumor. While they may include headache, nausea, and neurological symptoms, there are many other diseases with the same symptoms. Brain tumors are rare, estimated 20/100, 000 people. Of those, 7/100, 000 are cancer.

New headache: New or changed headache, worsening headaches, vision changes/blurriness, nausea/vomiting, and sometimes balance problems are the most common symptoms. See a primary care provider as soon as possible. Imaging of the head with ct and/or MRI may be helpful.
