What is a Brain Tumor?
A mass of abnormal cells in the brain tissue, resulting from uncontrolled multiplication and accumulation, is known as a brain tumor. These tumors can be non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant) and may vary in shape and size. With 120 types accounting for a staggering 85-90% of all primary tumors of the nervous system, brain tumors have become a significant concern. They are the leading cause of solid cancer-related mortality in children under the age of 20.
What are the primary risk factors for developing a Brain Tumor?
- Family history: accounts for approximately 5-10% of all cases
- Age
- Chemical exposure: either at home or in the workplace
- Radiation exposure: from medical treatments or due to nuclear fallout
- No history of chickenpox
What are the types of Brain Tumors?
Primary Brain Tumor:
Originates in the brain itself, possibly developing from brain cells, nerves, etc. These can be:
Malignant:
Cancerous:
- Aggressive and fast-growing
- May result in permanent disability or even death
- Of these, the most common are ‘Gliomas’ accounting for approximately 78% of all cases
- Astrocytomas, ependymomas, glioblastoma multiforme, medulloblastomas, and oligodendrogliomas are types of these ‘gliomas’
Benign:
- Non-cancerous
- Not as aggressive
- Slow-growing
- May compress normal brain cells and functions due to increased size
- Examples include chordomas, craniopharyngiomas, gangliocitomas, meningiomas, and pituitary adenomas
Secondary Brain Tumor:
- Also known as Metastatic brain tumors, which spread to other parts of the body
- 1 in 4 brain tumor patients is likely to have a metastatic brain tumor
