What are the factors that cause glioma?

With the continuous improvement of living standards, the living environment is getting worse and worse, and various diseases are plaguing us. Glioma is one of the diseases that is very harmful to the human body. However, we know very little about the cause of this disease. According to experts, there are many factors that cause this disease. At present, there are mainly six factors that are closely related to the occurrence of glioma. So, which six factors may cause glioma? Let's take a look at the introduction of experts and you will have some understanding.

Glioma is one of the most harmful intracranial tumors and a local manifestation of systemic diseases. If it is not treated in time or improperly, it will not only have a serious impact on the patient's daily life, but also pose a threat to the patient's life in severe cases.

The factors that cause glioma mainly include the following aspects:

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. 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.

4. 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.

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.

Clarifying the causes of glioma has positive significance for our effective prevention and treatment of glioma. While preventing it, patients should immediately go to the relevant hospital and cooperate with the doctor for active treatment once they become ill.
