a tumor is an unatural growth. It is a cancer but people call it a tumor sometimes because they dont know if its a dangerous cancer or not. There are two types of cancers. Malignant cancer and benign cancer. The benign cancer is just a growth which is not harmful. The malignant cancer is a dangerous one that has to be dealt with right away.

Not necessarily. I think malignant tumors are cancerous where as benign tumors are not. However, brain tumors of any kind are not very good.

I believe you mean 'cell'. Even benign a tumor can cause death if not removed. These types of tumors can grow causing blindness and a plethora of other problems. If it is a malignant tumor it is cancerous. I had cancer.

Not all brain tumors are cancer. I know someone who has had several brain tumors removed, and they all came back non cancerous.

depends if it's cancer... I know it may sound silly, but it's the truth...
there are brain tumors that are benign and therefor not considered cancer.
