How is glioma inherited

For almost everyone, having themselves or their family members suffer from cancer is the most significant turning point in changing their lives or even the trajectory of their lives, because if you are not careful, it may cost your life. Glioma is one of them, and it has a genetic tendency. How is glioma inherited? This starts with its cause.

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 people will increase under the influence of exogenous factors.

2. 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.

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

4. Electromagnetic waves: Some recent studies have confirmed that electromagnetic waves are harmful to the human body. Long-term exposure to electromagnetic waves will increase the incidence of brain tumors. Here, I would like to remind you that mobile phones are likely to be among them, but there is no research to confirm it yet.

5. Bad 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 gastrointestinal tumors and lung tumors.

6. Biochemical environment: The levels of pigment oxidase, phosphokinase and ATP in glioma cells are lower than those in normal cells, but β-glucuronidase is higher than that in normal brain tissue (except ependymoma). LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) is different from that in normal brain tissue due to the high metabolism of tumor tissue.
