Abstract
A tumor or neoplasm occurs when abnormal cells form within the brain. There are two main types of tumors they are malignant or cancerous tumors and benign tumors. Brain cancer can have a wide variety of symptoms including seizures, sleepiness, confusion, and behavioral changes. A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in or close to your brain, which can be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). Tumors can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or cancer can begin in other parts of your body and spread to your brain (secondary, or metastatic, brain tumors). The current article gives an idea about the pathogenesis, various causes, diagnosis and the latest methods of treatment available for cancer using vitamin A through the retinoic acid signaling pathway
