IT’S BRAIN FLUID
Turkey Medicals member and Turkish Neurosurgery Specialist Op.Dr. “Although attitude changes in people are perceived as psychological dimensions many times, in fact, “brain tumor” can come out from under the sudden changes in attitude that develop suddenly.

Compared to other cancers, brain tumors are relatively rare; however, they are considered dangerous due to their location and sometimes aggressive nature,” he said.
