Abnormal Growth of Cells Cancerous (malignant) Non-Cancerous (benign) Directly Destroy Brain Cells

Causes Are Unknown Possible Risk Factors Radiation Therapy Using Cell Phones Inherited Conditions Epstein Barr Virus

Symptoms depend on size, and location of the tumor Most common symptoms include: Headaches Seizures/Convulsions Vomiting Problems Balancing or Walking

25% of brain tumors linked to genetic risk factors Certain inherited diseases and gene mutations linked to brain cancer Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Neurofibromatosis NF1 & NF2 Tuberous Scler osis TSC1 & TSC2

Does not appear to be culture specific More frequent in two age groups Children < 15 years of age Adults 65+ years of age

Depends greatly on a variety of variables Age Gender Ethnicity Treatment

Surgery is usually the first treatment Radiation Therapy kills brain tumor cells High X-Rays Gamma Rays Protons Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells Immunotherapy stimulates the immune system
