Which of these are common muscular issues that patients with brain cancer may experience?
1 of 5
When cancer develops in the human brain, its effects are not restricted to the brain. The condition leads to various problems and muscular issues are one of them. From difficulty in walking to lacking coordination and balance, muscle twitching and jerking numbness, or weakness in the legs and arms, etc. These problems can affect the whole body of the patient. Patients must not ignore any of the muscular issues as they may deteriorate further if left untreated for long.
A brain cancer does not affect the body directly by itself.

The brain is the part responsible for controlling and interpreting the information from all the other body parts. However, when cancer develops in the brain, it starts interfering with the functions of the other body parts. Brain cancer does not travel to other organs, but continues to affect them by affecting either the spinal cord or the brain itself. These two organs are responsible for the body coordination, movement, and regulation of cold and hot sensations. Regular medical checkups are a must for brain cancer patients. These checkups track the spread of brain cancer and its effects on other body parts.
Brain cancer affects neither the sensory or cognitive organs nor the gastrointestinal functions.

Contrary to what many people believe, brain cancer can affect the cognitive as well as the sensory organs, while creating complications in gastrointestinal functioning. From reducing the sensation of touch to increasing mental confusion or difficulty in speaking or understanding a language, brain cancer may cause vomiting, upset stomachs, nausea, dizziness, etc. in patients. Patients must consult with an oncologist for medical advice in case the brain cancer continues to affect the functionality of other organs.
Which of these body parts are most affected by brain cancer?
4 of 5
When cancer invades the human brain, it degrades the performance and functionality of this vital organ. Closely associated organs, such as the eyes, ears and the bowel and bladder are also deeply affected by the condition. While cancer in the frontal lobe of the brain disrupts normal bladder control and bowel movements, cancer in the occipital lobe and the temporal lobe leads to the disruption of vision control and activities related to hearing. Cancer patients must consult with an oncologist in case they experience problems in some other parts of the body.
The central nervous system is significantly affected by brain cancer.
5 of 5
The spinal cord and the brain comprise the central nervous system in human beings. Brain cancer can expand quickly and may spread in the brain tissues. The condition stops or interferes with the working of certain parts of the brain, which may trigger malfunctions in various parts of the human body. To prevent brain cancer from affecting the nervous system, patients must seek medical attention as early as possible.
