Malignant neoplasm: cerebellum - what does this mean

Malignant neoplasm of the cerebellum is a type of cancer that can occur when abnormal cells in the cerebellum grow and divide uncontrollably. these cells can invade and destroy nearby healthy tissue, and may spread to other parts of the body.

What happens during the disease - malignant neoplasm: cerebellum

Malignant neoplasm of the cerebellum is caused by the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in the cerebellum. this uncontrolled growth of cells can be caused by environmental factors, such as radiation exposure, or genetic mutations that cause the cells to divide rapidly. as the cells divide, they form a mass or tumor that can interfere with the normal functioning of the cerebellum, leading to a range of neurological symptoms. in some cases, the tumor can spread to other parts of the brain or body, making the disease even more difficult to treat.
