Primary brain tumors originate in the brain or tissues close to the brain, such as in brain-covering membranes, cranial nerves, or the pituitary or pineal glands. There are many types of primary brain tumors, and over 84,000 people will receive a primary brain tumor diagnosis in 2021, according to the National Brain Tumor Society. The median age for these diagnoses is 60.

The most common cancerous, or malignant, brain tumor is the glioblastoma, a type of glioma that begins in the brain or spinal cord. The most common primary noncancerous, or benign, brain tumor is the meningioma, which arises from the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.

May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month. On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Alyx Porter, co-chair of the Central Nervous System Tumor Disease Group at Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, discusses the various types of brain tumors and how they are diagnosed and treated.

Dr. Steven Frank, medical director at the MD Anderson Proton Therapy Center, and Dr. Arnold dela Cruz Paulino, chief of pediatric service of the division of Radiation Oncology, discuss several recent publications from MD Anderson Cancer Center on the role of radiation and proton therapy on pediatric tumors.

Dr. Paulino starts off by discussing why we use proton therapy on pediatric patients. One of the things looked at is the efficacy of proton therapy with regards to different brain tumors. The studies include three particular brain tumors: ependymoma, intracranial germ cell tumors, and craniopharyngioma. Patients were compared with proton and traditional radiation (IMRT).

Proton-beam radiation therapy is used in effort to decrease long-term toxicity and reduce long-term side effects, which is particularly important in young patients.

A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in your brain.
Many different types of brain tumors exist. Some brain tumors are noncancerous and some brain tumors are cancerous. Brain tumors can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or cancer can begin in other parts of your body and spread to your brain as secondary (metastatic) brain tumors.

Many childhood cancers are highly treatable now. More than 80 percent of kids who get cancer today survive five years or longer. Some of the more common types of pediatric cancer include leukemia, brain and central nervous system tumors, lymphoma, neuroblastoma and nephroblastoma (kidney cancer). In this video, Yale Medicine radiation oncologist Kenneth Roberts, MD, explains how cancers that develop in children can be successfully and safely treated using radiation therapy.
