Brain Cancer has two different forms. Primary brain cancer starts in the brain, while secondary brain cancer starts somewhere else in the body and moves to the brain. The types of primary brain cancer are classified according to the cells which they originate from. All abnormal cell growths in the brain, whether benign or malignant, are collectively known as brain tumors.
