Symptoms before death from advanced brain cancer

What are the symptoms of advanced brain cancer before death? Many brain cancer patients are already in the middle or late stages when they are diagnosed. Experts say that it is very helpful for patients to understand the symptoms of advanced brain cancer in order to treat them. So, what are the symptoms of advanced brain cancer? Let's learn about them together.

1. Headache, which is caused by increased intracranial pressure or direct compression and stimulation of the meninges, blood vessels and nerves by the tumor. It occurs in most patients and is an early symptom of brain cancer. It worsens as the tumor develops to the late stage, so it is also one of the symptoms of late stage brain cancer.
2. Vomiting: Vomiting in the late stage of brain cancer is mostly caused by increased intracranial pressure stimulating the medullary vomiting center and vagus nerve stimulation. Severe headaches are accompanied by vomiting, which is often jet-like. Children with posterior cranial fossa tumors have early and frequent vomiting, which can be easily mistaken for gastrointestinal diseases.
3. Visual impairment: including changes in vision, visual field and fundus. Due to increased intracranial pressure, optic disc edema or direct compression of the optic nerve by the tumor, the optic nerve atrophies over time and affects vision, resulting in vision loss or even blindness. In addition, there may be dizziness, diplopia, mental symptoms, epilepsy (epilepsy), neck stiffness, decreased corneal reflex, and changes in vital signs such as breathing and blood pressure. Severe visual impairment is one of the symptoms of advanced brain cancer.
