Are you aware with an inherited diseases like Brain tumor?

Brain tumor is abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in brain. Brain tumor is classified in two categories: primary & secondary.  It can occur at any age. The exact cause of brain tumor is not clear because of human complex mind even some big physicist would not understand it fully, that's why symptoms and treatmentsbrain tumor are depend upon its size, location & type. Risk was higher among people under the age of 20. Some main treatments used for brain tumor are chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and medication to control symptoms such as seizures.
People who suffer from inherited diseases like (Li-Fraumeni cancer family syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, von Recklinghausen's disease [neurofibromatosis type 1], neurofibromatosis type 2, von Hippel-Lindau disease and familial polyposis) are more likely to get cancer of the brain and other parts of the nervous system. Exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation in the head area, such as radiation treatments for other cancers, is known to increase the risk of brain tumor.
Case study:
According to a survey around 1000 Australians die every year from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor, the most common form of brain cancer in adults. And there are about 4,500 new cases of primary brain tumor in the UK each year.
Your cellular device also cause to brain tumor:
Millions of people use their cell phone on a daily basis.A study say mobile phones increased the risk of brain tumor up to 270% on side of brain where mobile phone is held. The phone technology is changing day by day but that risk is still remain constant. It is important to understand that cell phones do emit radiation energy to parts of the body.

Brain tumors are the second-leading cause of death due to cancer for:
  • Children and teens under age 20
  • Females under 20 years of age
  • Males under 40 years of age
Sometimes most of people confused about brain aneurysms and brain tumour. Most of people thought that both diseases are same. Both are different from each other, only one similarity i.e. both Brain are exists in brain. So, aneurysms are not tumors; they are areas in the brain arteries or veins that are abnormally weak and expand to form a ballooning or expansion of the vessel wall.
A brain tumor can happen to anyone. Low grade, benign brain tumors are more common in children and young adults, while high grade, malignant tumors are more common in people over age 60.The outlook is much better if your tumor is detected and treated early. Brain tumors can also change as time goes by. They may become progressively more aggressive.
Some suggestions for reduce the risk of brain tumor:
ü  Diet should be healthy. Eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains and eat less red and processed (e.g., bacon, sausage, luncheon meat, hot dogs) meats Exercise regularly is also help to reduce the risk of brain tumor and many diseases.
ü  Stop smoking, it also cause to brain tumor and other diseases.
ü  Talk with your health care provider about recommended cancer screenings.
(These actions may reduce the risk of developing many types of cancer as well as other diseases).
