Brain tumour symptom differences in adults and children - from fatigue to blurred vision
21.09.2022 - 13:33 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A brain tumour is a rare but potentially dangerous growth of cells in the brain.
They can be either cancerous or non-cancerous and could require a number of treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
It is important to know the signs and symptoms of a brain tumour, and some may not realise the signs can vary with age.
Dr David Jenkinson, Chief Scientific Officer at The Brain Tumour Charity, said that there are now around 1,000 people in Scotland who are being diagnosed every year, and recognising the signs is now more important than ever.
He said: "The warning signs vary by age group, as well as due to the type of tumour and where in the brain it is located.
"We’d encourage anyone who is worried about a symptom that’s unusual for them, and particularly if it is persistent or they experience a combination of symptoms, to speak to their doctor – to help rule a brain tumour out."
The charity group also analysed Public Health Scotland data and found that nearly eight per cent fewer cases of brain tumours were diagnosed in Scotland in 2020 compared to 2019, following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Here are some age-specific symptoms that the charity group has shared which you should look out for in yourself and in those around you.
Adults include anyone over the age of 18.
Teens include anyone between the ages of 12 and 18.
Children include anyone between the ages of five and 11
Babies include anyone under the age of five
If you are concerned about symptoms in yourself or in a loved one or are experiencing symptoms regularly you should speak to your GP. If you are experiencing two or more symptoms you should ask your GP about an urgent referral.
