of all cancers are genetically inherited, or
hereditary. It’s rare for a brain tumor to be

Race: Brain tumors in general are more

Gender: Men are more likely than women to
develop a brain tumor.

5. Chemical exposure: Being exposed to certain chemicals, such as those
you might find in a work environment, can increase your risk for brain
tumor.
Exposure to radiation: People who have been exposed to ionizing
radiation have an increased risk of brain tumors.
Head injury and seizures: Serious head trauma has long been studied
for its relationship to brain tumors.

6. What Are The Treatments
For Brain Tumor?
Surgery: The surgeon will make an
opening in the skull and remove the
entire tumor.
Radiotherapy: Radiation therapy is the
use of one type of energy to kill cancer
cells and shrink tumors. Radiation
therapy injures or destroys cells in the
area being treated by damaging their
genetic material, making it impossible
to grow and divide.

7. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is to
administer drugs that destroy tumor
cells. It is sometimes the only
treatment option, especially when
the tumor is inoperable. It can be
used alone or in combination with
radiation therapy, before or after the
operation.
