 * Most brain cancers can spread through the brain tissue but rarely spread to other areas of the body
 * Typically, brain cancers are called brain tumors
 * Rare cases of brain and spinal cancers run in families
 * Environmental risk factor for brain tumors is radiation exposure
 * Most radiation-induced brain tumors are caused by radiation to the head given for the treatment of other cancers
 * Brain tumors usually will develop around 10 to 15 years after radiation
 * Several types of treatment may be used to treat central nervous system tumors, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and other types of drugs.
 * This is the only information, it really depends on the doctor and studies are being done to find a treatment

1. One point that I learned on your page that I did not know before was: rare forms of brain cancer run in families. 2. The page you created was informative or interesting because: the treatments, what it is and ricks are all separated. 3. How I can use this information in my life now or in the future is... not be exposed to radiation. 4. I would still like to know more about... what studies are occurring. MC
