Researchers are actively investigating potential risk factors associated with brain tumor development. Identified factors include exposure to ionizing radiation from high-dose X-rays, such as radiation therapy, exposure to vinyl chloride used in plastics manufacturing, and family history or certain genetic syndromes.
Understanding that symptoms and treatment for brain and spinal cord tumors vary based on factors like tumor location and size, our neuro-oncology team tailors individualized care plans. Each patient's unique situation is carefully considered to provide the most effective and personalized treatment approach.
