What Types of Seizures Occur in Cancer Patients?

Cancer patients may experience different types of seizures, including:
1. Focal Seizures: These originate in a specific area of the brain and may cause localized symptoms such as twitching or numbness.
2. Generalized Seizures: These involve the entire brain and can lead to a loss of consciousness and convulsions.
3. Status Epilepticus: A severe form of seizure that lasts longer than five minutes or occurs in rapid succession without recovery in between. This is a medical emergency.
