Brain Cancer |
|
Brain tumors occur in both kinds of cells that make up the brain tissue. They are the nerve cells and the supporting (or glial) cells that protect and take care of the nerve cells. There are many more supporting cells than nerve cells, so cancers of the supporting cells are the most common. These are astrocytomas and gliomas.
