  • Acoustic neuroma: It is a type of brain tumor, which occurs in the vestibular nerve. The occurrence of this tumor may lead to hearing loss and tinnitus.
  • Spine tumor: Spine tumor develops in the spinal cord. This tumor affects vertebrate.
  • Brain tumors (metastatic and primary brain tumors): In metastatic brain tumor, the tumor does not originate in the brain. It spread to the brain from the other part of body cancer. However, in a primary brain tumor, the tumor originates in the brain and affects brain tissues.
