How is glioma formed?

In fact, many people do not pay much attention to or understand gliomas, but in fact many factors may cause the formation of gliomas, such as common genetic factors, or ionizing radiation and other infections in life, and unhealthy lifestyles may cause gliomas.

1. Genetic factors: This does not mean that glioma is hereditary, but that due to the existence of some genetic factors, especially the defects of certain tumor suppressor genes, the possibility of glioma development in this type of person will increase under the influence of exogenous factors.

2. Ionizing radiation: Long-term exposure to a radiation environment, such as X-rays, γ-rays, nuclear radiation, etc., will increase the chance of developing glioma.

3. Infection: Some animal experiments have confirmed that certain viral infections can induce brain tumors, especially viral infections during pregnancy, which pose a greater threat to the future of the fetus.

4. Good living habits: such as being partial to certain types of food, drinking, smoking, etc. Although there is not enough evidence to prove that these factors are related to the occurrence of glioma, they have been confirmed to be related to the occurrence of digestive tract tumors and lung tumors.

5. Origin of tumor: There is a theory that the cause of tumor is that the embryonic remnants of primitive cells grow into tumors. These residual cells can cause chronic proliferation due to inflammatory stimulation and form tumors. Multiple gliomas, or gliomatosis, may have more than one tumor center.

Experts point out that the outcome of late-stage treatment of glioma can affect the survival of glioma patients to a certain extent. Therefore, once symptoms of glioma are found, timely and effective treatment should be given to avoid a rapid deterioration of the disease, which increases the difficulty of treatment and accelerates the patient's death.
