Brain Cancer

By Preston Perlas

What is Brain Cancer?

● Healthy cells => Malignant cells

● Abnormal growth of cells (Progressive

mitosis in cancer)

● Destruction of healthy brain tissues

● Corrupt neurological functionsGliosarcoma

Location: Frontal Lobe

1. Thinking Process2. Judgement3. Mood4. Movement5. Behavior

Common Symptoms

1. Nausea2. Headaches/

Migraines3. Vomiting4. Seizure/

Epilepsy

Brain Cancer OverviewTo determine how cancerous the brain tumor is:

1. How big is the tumors?

2. Has it spread to lymph nodes?

3. Location (more than one place)

4. Metastatic or not?

Cell Proliferation => Increase in number of cells as a result of cell division growth.Anaplasia/ Anaplastic => Tumor cells that divide rapidly having no resemblance to normal cells.

Statistics of Brain CancerCommon types of Tumors in Children/ American

1. Pituitary Tumor ( 29%- 32.3%)● Affect Body glands and development and

spinal cord2. Malignant Glioblastoma (4.7%- 14.2%)

● Affects Neurological function of the frontal lobe

3. Embryonal Tumor (4.3%- 15.7%)● Tumors present in fetuses (teratomas in brain)

4. Pilocytic Tumors (10.4%- 17.5%)● Affects Neurological functions of the frontal

lobe

Causes of Brain CancerProbable causes:

1. Tobacco ○ (Smoking, cocaine etc)

2. Excessive Weight ○ (Meningioma => increased levels of estrogen,

insulin and inflammatory cytokines =>> protein that control immune systems)

3. Viruses ○ (HIV, STD , Gonorrhea AIDS○ Non functional immune system

4. Diet○ Food consuming a lot of NaNO2○ Risk of Brain Cancer

5. Alcohol

Symptoms of Brain Cancer● Headache● Vomiting● Nausea● Fatigue● Brain disorders (Tumor Location)● Change in diet (Thyroid metabolic process● Change in bodily development● Typical body malformation● Compromise in circulatory, endocrine, and

digestive tract. (ENS problem) (Tumor)● Seizures/ Epilepsy

Treatment1. Radiation

● Low doses administered to track tumor

2. Chemotherapy● Orally administered or

intravenously with chemicals tracking tumors

3. Surgery● Cutting into a cranium through the

open incision of the dura into the brain.

Preventions● Eating healthy, and not consuming

too much unhealthy product.● Exercising● If genetic, reach a doctor for early

diagnosis.● Try not to consume too much

NaNO2 (increases the chance of getting tumors and cancer.

● No smoking and no drugs.

PRODUCT

For the Product:

● Work with Kids.● Start an Arts & Event with the HUGS

Foundation.● Teach them about treatments for Brain

Cancer.● Ways to Cope with Brain Cancer.
