How do you get glioma

Some diseases have signs when they come, such as headaches and dizziness, but some diseases are silent. So how do you get glioma? What are the signs of its arrival? Let's learn about the disease of glioma.

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 brain gliomas. Patients with these diseases have a much higher chance of developing brain gliomas than the general population. In addition, some environmental carcinogenic factors 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 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 very clear whether there is a causal relationship between the two.

Some tumor patients have epilepsy symptoms, which may be early symptoms. Epilepsy that begins in adulthood is generally symptomatic and is mostly caused by brain tumors. Those who are difficult to control with drugs or whose seizures change in nature should be considered to have brain tumors. Those with tumors adjacent to the cortex are more likely to develop epilepsy, while those with tumors deep inside are less likely to develop epilepsy. Localized epilepsy has localization significance.

Some tumors, especially those located in the frontal lobe, may gradually cause psychiatric symptoms such as personality changes, indifference, decreased speech and activity, inattention, memory loss, lack of concern for things, and lack of cleanliness.

Local symptoms will occur according to the location of the tumor, and will progressively worsen. Especially for malignant gliomas, which grow faster, infiltrate and destroy brain tissue, and cause significant surrounding brain edema, local symptoms are more obvious and develop faster. Intraventricular tumors or tumors located in the quiet area may have no local symptoms in the early stages. Tumors in important functional areas such as the brainstem will show local symptoms in the early stages, and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure will not appear until a considerable period of time. Some tumors that develop more slowly often do not show symptoms of increased intracranial pressure until the late stages due to compensatory effects.
