How does a person get brain cancer?

Answer 1

there is no known EXACT reason for brain cancer. oftentimes, a person doesn't realize they have brain cancer until it is too late. usually the cancer has metastasized from another part of the body through the lymph nodes. otherwise, many factors can play a role in developing any kind of cancer.

Answer 2

Five hundred years ago, people said the world was flat. Today, people say that if the FDA and AMA haven't blessed something, it can't be real good. Well, here's something I know to be real AND good. It's a little different take on cancer treatment--

In 1990, I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, stage 3-B, but I've survived. My doctors were great people, but they were limited to surgery, chemo and radiation by profitable AMA treatment policy. During the year in treatment, I started learning about alternative medicine. I'm a retired engineer, and this is what I've pieced together--our IMMUNE SYSTEMS become weakened by poor nutrition, lack of exercise and reduced oxygen. Once that happens, our body becomes vulnerable to common STRESSORS. Stressors can be environmental, like viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, food additives, electromagnetic waves or pollution. They can be internal things like emotional or job stress, or poisonous people in our lives. Aging is also a contributing factor. So this means:

WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM + STRESSORS = DISEASE (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.)

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 a high level of stressors, to weaken the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it will generally spread rapidly.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that are currently being used in Europe and around the world, and there are some great books on the subject. I know because I've read about 50 of them from cover to cover. Here's a list of the best ones. Some are out of print and getting hard to find--

"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825
"The Cure for All Advanced Cancers", ISBN 1890035165
"A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052
"Oxygen Therapies", ISBN 0962052701
"Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077
"The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410
"Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966
"Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About", ISBN 0975599518

I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) AFTER they went on programs of herbs and nutrition to restart their immune systems.

You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy. This is not a joke, and I'm not selling anything--just trying to help.
I am using the things I learned in those books right now to fight off a second infestation of cancer. I've been at it for over a year now, and think I'm going to make it. Use what works for you, and pass on your success. Best of luck.

AMA AND FDA--
The American Medical Association (AMA) and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law and the FDA in this country with heavy lobbying and a revolving door policy. WHY would they want to do this? It's about the money. In 2006, medicine (doctors, hospitals, researchers and pharmaceutical firms) received 2.1 TRILLION dollars--15% of the total earnings (GNP 13.7 trillion) in the U.S. This is astounding! It means MILLIONS of people worked the whole year just to pay the nation's medical expenses!! That's totally astounding, and just too big to care about individuals.

Answer 3

The basis for the formation of a primary brain tumor and most other tumors is usually genetic. Proto-oncogenes and tumor supression genes are two major genes in the body that regulate cell divison rates in the body. Proto-oncogenes are the regulators of increasing the rate of mitosis while tumor supression act to slow down the rate of mitosis. When proto-oncogenes are mutated and become oncogenes they have the potential to cause the mitosis rate to increasing. At the same time mutations must also occur to the tumor supression genes to prevent them from arresting the increased mitosis rate caused by the oncogenes. Mutations in the DNA can be caused by environmental carcinogens, errors in DNA replication, or by translocations, duplications, etc... to the genes themselves. The p53 and NF1 tumor supression gene mutations are two that are linked to brain cancer, for example. Of course on a genetic level the process is a lot more complicated than outlined above.

Answer 4

Cancer us when cells reproduce tremendously and hugely without stopping. This causes a lump of cells called a tumor. If this was you were looking for great if not, then you can get cancer from having too much of a thing such as alcohol, drugs, sugar, caffeine, over a period of time. Some cancer is also hereditary, meaning you get it from your parents.
