What causes brain cancer

Brain cancer is a malignant intracranial tumor that is extremely harmful and has a high mortality rate. According to surveys in recent years, the incidence of the disease has been rising. More and more people are suffering from brain cancer and endure the tremendous pain brought by the disease. Many people want to know how brain cancer is caused so that they can take daily precautions. I hope everyone will pay high attention to the following four major factors.

1. Bad living habits: Long-term dietary structure, living habits and other factors cause acidification of the body, which reduces the overall function of the human body and causes kidney deficiency. The liver and kidney are of the same origin, so kidney deficiency also causes liver deficiency, which in turn causes the upper-jiao metabolic cycle to slow down, block the cerebral artery, and cause blood stagnation. At this time, some brain parasites and viruses multiply in large numbers, causing serious brain damage.

2. Physical factors: Physical factors is a relatively broad term, including many aspects. Several years after radiotherapy for brain tumors, the occurrence of tumors of other nature in the irradiated area is one of the causes of brain tumors. Animal experiments have found that radiation can cause tissue metastasis (cancer). The mechanism is that radiation causes oncogene mutations in intracranial fibroblasts or meningeal endothelial cells, causing cell cancer.

3. Chemical factors: I believe everyone is familiar with chemical factors, which are mainly caused by certain toxic chemicals. Animal experiments have confirmed that a variety of chemicals are the causes of brain tumors (various gliomas, meningiomas, sarcomas, epithelial cancers, pituitary adenomas, etc.), and common ones are anthracene compounds, such as methylcholanthracene, diphenylanthracene, benzopyrene, etc.

4. Congenital factors: When we talk about congenital factors, we first think of the fetal period. During the embryonic development, primitive cells or tissues remain ectopically in the cranial cavity. Under certain conditions, they have the ability to differentiate and proliferate, which can develop into the cause of congenital brain tumors. This type of tumor grows slowly and is mostly benign. Common ones include craniopharyngioma, lipoma and colloid cyst.

5. Genetic factors: The occurrence of many diseases is related to genetic factors, and brain tumors also have a certain genetic nature. Human gene defects or mutations can form brain tumors. Multiple neurofibromatosis is the most typical representative of the inheritance of nervous system tumors. It is an autosomal dominant hereditary tumor, and about half of the patients have a family history of the disease.

In addition, due to the acidification of the body constitution, other tissues of the body may become cancerous. Due to the decline in brain function, the brain tissue fluid becomes acidic, and cancer cells take advantage of the opportunity to invade, causing the occurrence of brain cancer. The harm of brain cancer is fatal, but if it is discovered in time, it can also prolong the patient's life.
