“Then because of the position of the tumour and the height and how risky it was at that point, they said they need to go through the skull. To the point where this (left eye) I couldn’t see with it and it was also closing. So many people begged me to leave the country and get the surgery done but something kept me back here because I still had trust in us. It was sitting on the optic gland around this eye and was also affecting this (right eye). And I said amen and went to the bed. I called my ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specialises in eye and vision care) that I can’t see.

Things that can possibly cause brain tumour | The Nation Newspaper (The Nation Newspaper)

Most of the time, the causes of a brain tumors are unknown but the below factors may raise a person's risk of developing a brain tumour:

N-nitroso compounds: Some studies of diet and vitamin supplementation seem to indicate that dietary N-nitroso compounds may raise the risk of both childhood and adult brain tumours. Electromagnetic fields: Most studies evaluating the role of electromagnetic fields, such as energy from power lines or from cell phone use, show no link to an increased risk of developing a brain tumour in adults. Some studies have shown a link between head trauma and meningioma but not between head trauma and glioma. More data are needed to find out if exposure to infections, other viruses, or allergens increase the risk of a brain tumour in people. Of note, studies have shown that patients with a history of allergies or skin conditions have a lower risk of glioma. Family history: About 5% of brain tumours may be linked to hereditary genetic factors or conditions, including Li-Fraumeni syndrome, neurofibromatosis, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, Turcot syndrome, and von Hippel-Lindau disease.

MR spectroscopy distinguishes recurrent brain tumors from necrosis (AuntMinnie)

MR spectroscopy is an effective tool for distinguishing recurrent brain tumors from necrosis in patients who have undergone radiation treatment.

The papers explored MR spectroscopy imaging's ability to track and quantify the biomarkers. MRI spectroscopy has been used to identify brain tumors, and Aseel's team sought to determine if it could distinguish between necrosis caused by radiation treatment and recurrent brain tumors. Necrosis after brain cancer radiation treatment is a serious consequence to treatment, and it tends to manifest within six months, the team noted.

How this 10-year-old boy fought against an aggressive form of ... (Austin American-Statesman)

Dell Children's doctors and his family family work to create a post-treatment life for 10-year-old Tomas Ramon.

"He was so brave from the very first moment," Maria Roman said. For a long time, he wore a baseball cap to cover up the scar. He's told to have a good nap or have good dreams before he's put under anesthesia for the scans. The classic one was when he met with doctors after the surgery and saw the scar on his head. He had to go through intensive occupational therapy and physical therapy to build up the use of that side. They get diagnosed in the ER" after a CT scan or an MRI, just as Tomas was. Because the tumor was at the back of the brain stem, there was a chance Tomas might not come out of surgery the same. Kids with medulloblastoma that has advanced to the spine have about a 60% survival rate. Timothy George, the head of neurology at the time, was frank with the family about the seriousness of the situation. "He never cries and never complains," she said. He had a look on his face that was different, Maria Ramon said. The kind of brain cancer Tomas had is aggressive and is fought with aggressive treatments that have lifelong complications.
