Brain tumors are one of the deadliest types of cancer, but not everyone knows the warning signs.

More than 12,000 Britons are diagnosed with a primary brain tumor each year, with 5,300 dying, The Sun writes.

The disease is the deadliest cancer in children and adults under 40, according to the Brain Tumor Charity.

Brain tumors reduce life expectancy by an average of 27 years, with only 12 percent of adults surviving five years after diagnosis.

There are two main types of brain tumors, with benign, non-cancerous tumors growing more slowly and less likely to return after treatment.

Malignant cancerous brain tumors can either start in the brain or spread there from elsewhere in the body and are more likely to come back.

Their cause is unknown, and you are more at risk as you age, with most brain tumors occurring in adults aged 85 to 89, although some types are more common in children.

Treatment depends on the type of tumor, where it is in the brain, how big it is and how far it has spread, as well as your general health and fitness.

What are the most common symptoms of a brain tumor:

1. Headache

2. Convulsions

3. I feel sick

4. Memory problems

5. Change in personality

6. Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body

7. Vision problems

8. Speech problems
