Primary Brain Tumor

November 7, 2016 by

Primary Brain Tumor

The original tumor of a cancer diagnosis. Cancer cells can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Also, cancer cells can break away from a malignant tumor and enter the bloodstream or the lymphatic system. This is how cancer spreads from the original (primary) tumor to form new tumors in other parts of the body.
