What are the possible causes of glioma

With the change of people's lifestyle, more and more people are suffering from brain tumors. Among them, the incidence of glioma is also increasing year by year. Many people are suffering from the disease. So, what are the possible causes of glioma? Let's take a look!

1. 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.

2. 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.

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. 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.

5. Nitroso compounds: With the development of modern industrialization, this type of compound has become widely present in the environment we live in, especially produced in the process of food processing.

6. Polluted air: It has been confirmed that not only do workers who work in an air-polluted environment for a long time have a significantly increased risk of developing brain tumors, but their children also have a higher tumor incidence rate than other children.

Now that we know the causes of glioma, we must take good preventive measures. At the same time, once patients become ill, they should immediately go to a relevant hospital and cooperate with doctors for active treatment.
