For decades, UC San Diego Health and its schools of medicine and pharmacy have been advancing medicine through breakthrough discoveries — including pioneering firsts in surgery, imaging, cancer treatment and cardiovascular care.

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.
