How long does it take for a brain tumor to develop?

Question

2 years? a year? a few months?

Answer 1

A few months are enough for the blood to clot.

Brain tumor is any intracranial tumor created by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division, normally either found in the brain itself (neurons, glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells), lymphatic tissue, blood vessels), in the cranial nerves (myelin-producing Schwann cells), in the brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs (metastatic tumors). Primary (true) brain tumors are commonly located in the posterior cranial fossa in children and in the anterior two-thirds of the cerebral hemispheres in adults, although they can affect any part of the brain.

In the United States in the year 2000, it was estimated that there were 16,500 new cases of brain tumors[1], which accounted for 1.4 percent of all cancers, 2.4 percent of all cancer deaths[2], and 20–25 percent of pediatric cancers[2][3]. Ultimately, it is estimated that there are 13,000 deaths/year as a result of brain tumors[1].

I hope this solves you.

Answer 2

Cancer is caused by poor nutrition (including oxygen) and stressors. Stressors can be environmental, like heavy metals or pollution, or emotional or job stress.
Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.
It takes a LONG time, usually, or an exrtaordinary amount of stressors, to degrade the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it can spread rapidly.

Answer 4

the brain do NOT develop tumors (except for the herdetry neuroblastoma in children) !! brain cells do not devide in adults !! but there is tumors in the mineges and the microglia ... they rarly develop and will take years (mostly begnin,, but harmfull cause they secrete excess hormons and block some pathways of nerves or even block vessels,, most tumors in head are due to metastasis ..

Answer 5

a buddy of mine has a GBM, and through the time he had his indications appeared at, they suspected it were there for approximately 2 years. the indications he had were consistent, severe complications not relieved through painkillers. does not propose that each and each and every headache will be a tumor, there might want to be many different motives. verify mutually with your physician besides, you've an undiagnosed problem like migraines.
