What causes childhood brain tumors? Limited knowledge, many clues.

Pediatric neurosurgery - 1 Jun 2000

Bunin G

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about the causes of brain tumors in children. Children with one of several genetic disorders including tuberous sclerosis and Li-Fraumeni syndrome are at increased risk, as are children who have received therapeutic irradiation to their head. The multifactorial causation of brain tumors, the inaccuracies of recall of past exposures, and the study of all pediatric brain tumors as a single etiologic...
