About Brain Nervous System Cancer

Cancers of the brain and nervous system are the most common type of childhood cancer. When discovered early, these cancers often can be cured. The brain stem, located deep in the back of the brain, is made up of the midbrain, pons, and medulla. These parts of the brain control the body's autonomic nervous system which is responsible for controlling body processes like breathing, digesting, sweating, and shivering. A tumor that develops in any area of the brain stem is called a brain stem glioma. Tumors in the pons are called pontine gliomas .

The most important brain and nervous system cancer are brain cancer, head and neck cancer, brainstem glioma, optic nerve glioma, primary central nervous lymphoma, multiple myeloma, ependymoma, oligo dendritic glioma, cerebellar astrocyte tumor, craniopharyngioma primitive neuroectodermal tumor, medulloblastoma, astrocytoma, pineal blastoma, pineal tumor, Neuroblastoma, glioma, meningeal carcinomatosis, myeloproliferative neoplasms, cerebral aneurysm, pituitary tumor, meningioma, spinal cord tumors, acoustic neuroma, haemangioblastoma, neurofibromatosis etc.
