What is Brain cancer?

Brain cancer occurs when the fastest growing abnormal cells formed within the brain. The group of abnormal cells called brain tumors which can disrupt your body functions. This malignant brain tumor is fast-growing cancer that spreads to other areas of the brain and spine, which could be life-threatening. But brain cancer isn’t common. Brain cancer can have a wide variety of symptoms including seizures, sleepiness, confusion, and behavioral changes. In the late 1990s, a team of scientists at the University of Complutense in Madrid observed the effects of cannabinoids on metabolism. By injecting the cannabinoids on glioma (brain cancer) cells, cancer cells began to die.
