What causes glioma?

Many patients with gliomas want to know what causes the occurrence of gliomas when they seek medical treatment. In fact, there are many causes of gliomas in daily life, and patients must be vigilant. So, what causes lead to the occurrence of gliomas? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

1. Origin of tumor: There is a theory that the cause of tumor is the embryonic remnant of primitive cells growing into tumors. These remnant cells can cause chronic proliferation due to inflammatory stimulation and form tumors. Multiple gliomas, or gliomatosis, may have more than one tumor.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Infection: Some animal experiments have confirmed that certain infections can induce brain tumors (intracranial tumors), especially infections during pregnancy, which pose a greater threat to the future of the fetus.

5. 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 chance of developing brain tumors (intracranial tumors), but their children also have a higher tumor incidence rate than other children. These occupations are mainly related to papermaking, milling, handicrafts, printing, chemicals, oil refining and metal smelting, mainly because there are a lot of hydrocarbon compounds in the air. Air polluted by pesticides is also included.

The incidence of glioma accounts for about 46% of intracranial tumors. It is a malignant tumor disease, and it develops relatively quickly and causes great harm to the body. Therefore, if you are diagnosed with glioma, you must seek treatment in time and do not delay.
