What is a brain tumor and what are the risk factors?

A brain tumor is an uncontrolled and irregular cell growth in the brain. Our skull has a limited amount of room. As a result, the extra growth inside our brain puts more strain on the inside of our skull, potentially causing life-threatening problems and brain damage. Tumors may also be classified as benign or malignant. They are not cancerous and can't spread to other areas of the brain or body. Malignant tumors are cancerous tumors that develop out of control and can spread to other areas of the body. Uncontrolled cellular replication causes tumors. A modification or mutation in our DNA causes this. This mutation affects genes that regulate cell division and cause cells to die at the appropriate times, causing cells to develop uncontrollably and resulting in brain tumors. A brain tumor surgery is more likely to grow if you have a number of risk factors. Here are some of them: Ionising radiation from radiation therapy, X-rays, and CT scans may all cause radiation exposure. Power
