Brain Tumor Risk Factors Few known risk factors Exposure to vinyl chloride (increased risk of glioma) Epstein-Barr virus infection AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) Organ transplant (may increase the risk of primary CNS lymphoma) Genetic syndromes: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or 2 (NF2) von Hippel-Lindau disease Tuberous sclerosis Li-Fraumeni syndrome Turcot syndrome type 1 or 2 Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome “The cause of most adult brain and spinal cord tumors is unknown.” -- Huntsman Cancer Institute, Univ. of Utah

Brain Tumor Nursing Assessments For intracranial tumor: Focal neurological disorders Frontal lobe (personality disorders, motor system dysfunction) Occipital lobe (visual disturbances, headache) Temporal lobe (auditory hallucinations, psychomotor seizures, aphasia) Parietal lobe (inability to distinguish left-right) Increased ICT Lethargy, decreased HR, decreased level of consciousness, projectile vomiting Mental Personality changes, depression, decreased memory Pituitary dysfunction Cushing’s syndrome, acromegaly, giantism, hypopituitarism Pain Persistent headache Seizure activity Fluid status Nausea and vomiting, decreased urine output, dry mucous membranes, decreased skin turgor Psychosocial Anger, fear, mourning, hostility
