Cognitive problems
As mentioned above, sometimes patients with brain tumors develop cognitive problems affecting their communication and quality of life. The most common cognitive problems caused by brain tumors are attention and concentration problems, slower thinking agility and speed, loss of problem-solving and decision-making functions, loss of memory and difficulty learning new things, and perception problems that usually lead to forgetting things. In each case, there’s an area of the brain involved in a given type of cognitive function. Therefore, it is possible to have a suspicion of a brain tumor in a given location by carefully looking at the signs as symptoms.
