What causes glioma?

Modern medicine is developing rapidly, but there are still many diseases whose causes are unknown. For example, glioma, a "modern killer" that threatens human health. Currently, medicine is still unclear about its cause, but many scholars believe that it is related to many factors. The following editor will introduce to you the causes of glioma.

Four common causes of glioma:

1. Genetic factors

There are different reports on the familial incidence of glioma. In the past 20 years, the chromosomes of glioma have been studied, and it has been found that most of them have abnormalities in the C group chromosomes, but the causal relationship with glioma is still unclear.

2. Origin of Tumor

There is a theory that the cause of tumor occurrence is that the embryonic remnants of primitive cells grow into tumors. These remnant cells can cause chronic proliferation and form tumors due to inflammatory stimulation.

3. 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.

4. Bad living habits

For example, factors such as a preference for 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.
