brain cancers
Tumors within skulls
Brain cancers are malignant tumors originating in brain tissue or spreading there from elsewhere in the body.
The plural typically refers to the category of such diseases rather than multiple tumors in one patient: Brain cancers are notoriously difficult to treat.
Treatment often involves surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, though outcomes vary widely depending on type and location.
