World Brain Tumour Day: What Are The Risk Factors For Brain Tumour?
World Brain Tumour Day is observed annually on 8 June to raise awareness about brain tumour prevention and educate the public. World Brain Tumor Day has a specific theme each year aimed at promoting awareness of brain tumours and assisting patients and families in their recovery. The theme for 2022 was Together We Are Stronger.
World Brain Tumour Day Theme 2023 is yet to be announced.
What Are The Risk Factors For Brain Tumour?
Brain tumours are a type of cancer that can develop in any part of the brain and can be benign or malignant [1].
The risk factors that can increase a person's chances of developing a brain tumour include genetics, age, a family history of brain tumours, environmental exposure, radiation exposure, and certain medical conditions [2][3].
1. Age: The risk of brain tumours increases with age. People over the age of 65 are more likely to develop a brain tumour.
2. Genetics: Certain genetic syndromes, such as neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis, increase the risk of developing a brain tumour. Neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis are disorders that affect the function of certain genes that help control cell growth.
3. Radiation: Exposure to radiation, such as treatments for certain types of cancer, can increase the risk of developing a brain tumour. Radiation can cause DNA damage, which can lead to the uncontrolled growth of cells that can become tumours.
4. Family history: Having a family member who has had a brain tumour increases the risk of developing one.
5. Gender: Men are more likely to develop a brain tumour than women. This is because men are more likely to be exposed to certain risk factors that have been linked to brain tumours, such as radiation exposure, certain occupational exposures, and certain types of recreational drug use.
6. Chemicals: Exposure to certain chemicals, such as vinyl chloride and some pesticides, can increase the risk of brain tumours. This is due to the fact that these chemicals can cause genetic mutations that can lead to the formation of a tumour.
Additionally, long-term exposure to certain chemicals can cause inflammation in the brain, which can lead to the formation of a tumour.
7. Immune system: People with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV or AIDS, are more likely to develop a brain tumour. The weakened immune system can allow cancer cells to grow and spread, which can also increase the risk of cancer.
8. Diet: Eating a diet high in fat and processed foods may increase the risk of developing a brain tumour. High-fat diets can lead to an increase in inflammation, which can damage cells and create an environment that allows cancer cells to thrive.
Processed foods are often high in unhealthy fats and chemicals, which could also contribute to cell damage and increase the risk of cancer.
On A Final Note...
It is important to speak to a medical professional if you have any of these risk factors, as early detection and treatment can greatly improve the outcome of a brain tumour diagnosis.
