What is a brain tumour?

The name of a brain tumor describes where it originates, how it grows, and what kind of cells it contains. A tumor in an adult is also graded or staged according to: 
• how malignant it is 
• how rapidly it is growing and how likely it is to invade other tissues 
• how closely its cells resemble normal cells. (The more abnormal a tumor cell looks, the faster it is likely to grow)
