I feel embarrested for asking, but I'm doing an essay on cancer for Biology. I chose brain cancer. One thing I need is the scientific name for brain cancer. I've done searches, but I can't seem to find a general name, just cancer in diffenrent parts of the brain.

I think it is just called brain cancer or a brain tumor, unless it is a specific cancer in one area of the brain. A scientific name for cancer is carcinoma.

Here is a link to where I found the best info on brain cancer when my Mom was diagnosed. http://hope.abta.org/site/PageServer

Good luck with your essay, Jenny. You might want to ask your teacher if you can be more specific, and do the essay on one particular type of brain cancer.
