- Stay in the shade (10 AM–4 PM)

Use the ABCDEs to spot trouble:

If you notice a new or changing spot, don’t wait—early detection saves lives.

Each year, over 25,000 adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with a primary brain tumor.

While not all brain tumors are cancerous, every tumor can impact vital functions like memory, speech, and motor skills—depending on its location.

🔎 Common symptoms to watch for:
• Persistent or worsening headaches
• Seizures
• Memory loss or confusion
• Changes in speech or vision

About 30% of brain tumors are malignant, but all deserve expert evaluation and care.
