Are brain tumors contagious? For example, if a person has it, and coughs and sneezes without covering their mouths, would it be contagious for other people??
I have read that brain tumors are not contagious, but I do question how much research has gone into that to really define whether or not it is.. Since, the cause of it is still unknown.

LOL, brain tumors are not contagious
THAT has been studied
ALL cancers are not contagious
Cancer is caused by abnormal cell multiplication, it's that simple
So relax and don't worry
It's not contagious

I assure you brain tumors are not contagious. Go to the following website, there is many many links on the various research into brain and spinal tumors.

Contagous -- wll if your looking to get one - go to a local neurosurgon & have a active tumor implanted into your head - NO they aren't noone knows what causes them - whether genetically or enviromentally triggered - but no if someone with a brain tumor or breat cancer , colen cancer, or aids etc sneezes on you you will not get it -
So do not treat ill peopl like they have the plague - its cruel & inhumaine!! Plus ANY one can get cancer ( the stats are nearly down to 1 in 2 people get it in their life now ) or other diseases - so treat others how you would like to be treated if you were in their shoes!

You could probably eat a brain tumor and not get one.
