Brain Cancer

Brain cancer is a new biological growth in the cranial cavity, which is also known as intracranial tumors. The position of the incident there in different kinds of cells, including brain, brain nerves, meningeal brain, skull, pituitary gland and other organs as metastases from metastatic brain tumors.

Because in all the cranial cavity in the form of bones, brain tumor grows large will cause increased pressure in the cranial cavity, which then cause symptoms of headache, vomiting, blurred vision, cramps, coma and other symptoms, the position and nature of the pathological lesions of brain cancer can different along with the age difference.

The rate of deaths of brain cancer

Incidence rates of brain cancer accounts for about 5% of cancers throughout the body, occupying 70% of the rate of childhood cancer. Brain cancer can arise in a variety of age groups, at the age of 20-40 years of age have a higher incidence rate, ratio of brain cancer incidence rates between men and women as much as 13:10.

Around the world every year there are about 18,500 people who are diagnosed with brain cancer, each year there are approximately 12 760 people died of brain cancer, the average age of patients who died of brain cancer was 64 years and the rate of brain cancer deaths each year is increasing.

Causes of brain cancer

1. Radiation Factors : wave radiation emitted by cell phones, computers encourage cancer cells.

2. Trauma Factors : external trauma can stimulate the brain, meningeal scarring will lead to tumors and can accelerate the growth of brain tumors that previously existed.

3. Chemical factors: The incidence of brain cancer associated with contact pesticides, dyes, formaldehyde and others in the long term.

4. Radiotherapy Factors : Contact with radiotherapy exposure is also a risk factor for brain cancer.

5. Congenital factor: During the early development of the embryo cells or ectopic tissue residues in the cavity of the head, has the function of differentiation and proliferation, may develop into cancer congenital brain.

6. Genetic factors: genetic defect or mutation can cause brain cancer, approximately half of patients have a family history of brain cancer.
