What is Brain Cancer?
● Healthy cells => Malignant cells
● Abnormal growth of cells (Progressive
mitosis in cancer)
● Destruction of healthy brain tissues
● Corrupt neurological functionsGliosarcoma
Location: Frontal Lobe
1. Thinking Process2. Judgement3. Mood4. Movement5. Behavior
Common Symptoms
1. Nausea2. Headaches/
Migraines3. Vomiting4. Seizure/
Epilepsy
Brain Cancer OverviewTo determine how cancerous the brain tumor is:
1. How big is the tumors?
2. Has it spread to lymph nodes?
3. Location (more than one place)
4. Metastatic or not?
Cell Proliferation => Increase in number of cells as a result of cell division growth.Anaplasia/ Anaplastic => Tumor cells that divide rapidly having no resemblance to normal cells.
Statistics of Brain CancerCommon types of Tumors in Children/ American
1. Pituitary Tumor ( 29%- 32.3%)● Affect Body glands and development and
spinal cord2. Malignant Glioblastoma (4.7%- 14.2%)
● Affects Neurological function of the frontal lobe
3. Embryonal Tumor (4.3%- 15.7%)● Tumors present in fetuses (teratomas in brain)
4. Pilocytic Tumors (10.4%- 17.5%)● Affects Neurological functions of the frontal
lobe
Causes of Brain CancerProbable causes:
1. Tobacco ○ (Smoking, cocaine etc)
2. Excessive Weight ○ (Meningioma => increased levels of estrogen,
insulin and inflammatory cytokines =>> protein that control immune systems)
3. Viruses ○ (HIV, STD , Gonorrhea AIDS○ Non functional immune system
4. Diet○ Food consuming a lot of NaNO2○ Risk of Brain Cancer
5. Alcohol
Symptoms of Brain Cancer● Headache● Vomiting● Nausea● Fatigue● Brain disorders (Tumor Location)● Change in diet (Thyroid metabolic process● Change in bodily development● Typical body malformation● Compromise in circulatory, endocrine, and
digestive tract. (ENS problem) (Tumor)● Seizures/ Epilepsy
Treatment1. Radiation
● Low doses administered to track tumor
2. Chemotherapy● Orally administered or
intravenously with chemicals tracking tumors
3. Surgery● Cutting into a cranium through the
open incision of the dura into the brain.
Preventions● Eating healthy, and not consuming
too much unhealthy product.● Exercising● If genetic, reach a doctor for early
diagnosis.● Try not to consume too much
NaNO2 (increases the chance of getting tumors and cancer.
● No smoking and no drugs.
