Is glioma caused by genetics?

The number of people suffering from brain tumors is increasing year by year, especially the number of patients dying from gliomas. Many patients with brain gliomas are very worried that their disease will be passed on to their children. They dare not have children even if they suffer from this disease. So, is glioma caused by heredity?

There is no clear evidence that gliomas are definitely hereditary, and the medical community has been debating this issue. However, a small number of brain tumors are indeed hereditary, which means that there are congenital brain tumors, such as bilateral acoustic neuromas in multiple neurofibromatosis, which are caused by a genetic defect on chromosomes and have a hereditary tendency. This type of brain tumor can occur in several generations, and several people in the same generation may have it.

Will glioma be passed on to children? Although this question has not yet been determined, there are reports that glioma may be hereditary, and some examples in life seem to confirm this view. Of course, whether glioma is hereditary still needs further medical research. If someone in your family has glioma, it is best to pay great attention to it and do regular anti-cancer physical examinations, but there is no need to worry too much about other things.

Regardless of whether glioma will be passed on to children, it is necessary for everyone to take precautions. Pay attention to food hygiene to prevent carcinogens such as benzopyrene and nitrosamines from entering the body. Pay attention to personal hygiene, exercise, enhance immunity, and prevent infection. Once a brain problem occurs, be sure to go to a regular hospital for examination.
