What are the main causes of glioma

Glioma does not occur without reason, nor does it go away inexplicably. Only when we understand the real cause of glioma can we better treat it symptomatically. In fact, some factors in daily life are often the culprits of glioma. Next, let's take a look at the main causes of glioma.

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

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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 (intracranial tumors). Here, I would like to remind you that mobile phones are likely to be among them, but there is no research to confirm it yet.

7. Overwork leads to illness: According to the survey data of Glioma Network, most glioma patients are between 40 and 60 years old. Patients in this age group are basically the backbone of the family. They are under high-load work for a long time, do not get a good rest, and cannot let go.

8. Bad living habits: such as being partial to certain types of food, drinking, smoking, etc. There is certainly not enough evidence to prove that these factors are related to the occurrence of glioma, but they have been confirmed to be related to the occurrence of gastrointestinal tumors and lung tumors.

The above is about the causes of glioma. Here we remind you that if you suffer from this disease, you must go to the hospital for examination in time and do not delay the treatment.
