Several common causes of glioma

Glioma is a common tumor disease of the brain nervous system, which has a great impact on the patient's nervous system and cognitive ability. Although glioma occurs in the brain, it is a local manifestation of systemic disease, which is seriously harmful to patients and needs early treatment. So what are the common causes of glioma? Let me introduce them to you.

Gliomas are tumors that occur in the neuroectoderm, so they are also called neuroectodermal tumors or neuroepithelial tumors. Tumors originate from neural interstitial cells, namely glia, ependyma, choroid plexus epithelium, and neural parenchymal cells, namely neurons. Most tumors originate from different types of glia, but based on their histological origins and similar biological characteristics, various tumors that occur in the neuroectoderm are generally called gliomas.

Introduction to five 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.

5. Ionizing radiation:

Long-term exposure to radiation, such as X-rays, γ-rays, nuclear radiation, etc., will increase the chance of developing glioma. 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.

Warm reminder: When glioma is diagnosed, no matter which stage the disease has progressed to, do not give up treatment. Only by persisting in treatment can it be possible to suppress the disease.
