Brain & Nervous System Cancer Center

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells that form in the brain. Many of these are benign. Malignant tumors, or brain cancer, are usually invasive. Central nervous system lymphoma invades the brain or spinal cord from the lymph system. Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer that develops in nerve cells, generally in the abdomen, and usually affects young children.
