Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of brain tumors is related to qi deficiency and blood stasis, cold and heat, and emotional depression. The main pathogenesis is: insufficient vital energy, dysfunction of the internal organs, qi stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm coagulation and poison accumulation, toxic heat accumulation, forming a mass called cancer or tumor.

Brain tumor syndromes can be roughly divided into four types
