How hereditary is glioma

People's living conditions are better now than before, but various diseases have also come along with them, especially tumors. Glioma is one of them. It is a disgusting brain tumor and has a genetic tendency. How hereditary is glioma?

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors caused by cancerous changes in glial cells in the brain and spinal cord. The annual incidence is about 3-8 people per 100,000 population. Like other tumors (diseases), gliomas are caused by the interaction of congenital genetic high-risk factors and environmental carcinogenic factors. Some known genetic diseases, such as neurofibromatosis (type I) and tuberculous sclerosis, are genetic susceptibility factors for gliomas.

Patients with these diseases have a much higher chance of developing brain gliomas than the general population. In addition, some environmental carcinogens may also be related to the occurrence of gliomas. Studies have shown that electromagnetic radiation, such as the use of mobile phones, may be related to the occurrence of gliomas. However, there is currently no evidence to show that there is an inevitable causal relationship between the two. Although most glioblastoma patients have had macrophage virus infection, and evidence of macrophage virus infection has been found in the vast majority of glioblastoma pathological specimens, it is not yet clear whether there is a causal relationship between the two.

Regardless of whether glioma is hereditary or not, it is necessary for everyone to take precautions. Pay attention to food hygiene to prevent carcinogens such as benzopyrene and nitrosamine 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 as soon as possible.
