Are somatization symptoms related to right-hemispheric primary brain tumor : a population-based prospective study of tumor patients in northern Finland? Context: Somatization symptoms have been found to be early symptoms of tumor among brain tumor patients. The authors followed patients through diagnosis of brain tumor and subsequent surgery. Patients with a supratentorial tumor were given repeated measurements for somatization with the Crown-Crisp Experiential Index. Before tumor operation, the patients with a tumor in the right hemisphere had significantly higher somatic anxiety scores than those with a tumor located in the left hemisphere. The specific symptoms were dizziness and palpitation among patients with a right hemispheric tumor.
