Today brain cancer is the deadliest cancer for children, adolescents and young adults, but there is hope.

The 225+ doctors and researchers of the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) - the world's leading pediatric brain cancer scientific consortium - are striving for change and treatment breakthroughs.

PNOC is translating the latest research in brain tumor biology into more effective and less toxic treatments, working efficiently and rapidly to bring clinical trials to kids across the U.S and around the world.

For information on #pediatricbraincancer clinical trials and PNOC’s participating and collaborating sites visit https://pnoc.us

The 10 Most Common Brain Tumors

1. Gliomas
Approximately 30-percent of all brain tumors are glioma tumors, which originate in the brain or spine. Gliomas also make up 80-percent of all malignant brain tumors. This tumor is named glioma because it develops in the glial cells—specifically the astrocytoma, ependymoma, oligodendroglioma cells, or a combination of these. As a glioma brain tumor grows, it may cause headaches, nausea and vomiting, seizures, and vision problems if it places pressure on the optic nerve. The treatment and removal depends on the tumors placement. For instance, depending on how close it is to the patient’s delicate brain stem, the tumor may only be partially removed to avoid brain damage.


2. Craniopharyngiomas
Craniopharyngiomas most often afflict children, teens, and young adults. These tumors form near the base of the brain, typically above the pituitary gland, causing a domino effect of health issues as they amass—including eyesight issues or total loss of vision (if they push on the optic nerve), weight gain, delayed physical development, and stunted hormone levels.


3. Lymphomas
Lymphoma tumors can develop in the brain in response to cancer of the lymphatic system due to Hodgkin’s disease, which occurs when white blood cells (or lymphocytes) become cancerous. These types of cerebral lymphomas can also develop in individuals with low immune systems—as a result of AIDS or following a major surgery (i.e., organ transplant).


4. Haemangioblastomas
Haemangioblastomas is typically genetic, meaning it’s prone to individuals with a family history of von Hippel Lindau syndrome (vHL), a disorder characterized by the development of fluid-filled cysts (or tumors) in different areas of the body. Haemangioblastomas tumors often develop in elder teens and young adults on the brain stem, but they don’t tend to spread. These tumors rarely become cancerous and only account for 2-percent of brain tumors, which makes them difficult to treat.


5. Meningiomas
Meningiomas account for 25-percent of adult brain tumors. They develop in the tissues (more membranes) that surround and protect the brain, invading surrounding brain tissue and reoccurring even after surgical removed. However, luckily, the majority of meningiomas are benign, or non- cancerous.


6. Acoustic Neuromas
Acoustic neuromas most often develop in elderly individuals. And because they affect balance and hearing (both common to aging) they often go undiagnosed for lengthy periods. These slow-growing tumors tend to develop on the nerve that runs from the ears to the brain, which is why hearing and balance are affected. The most telltale sign of a present acoustic neuromas tumor is loss of hearing in one ear.


7. Pineal Region Tumors
Pineal region tumors are rare, making up only 1-percent of all brain tumors. They grow on the pineal gland, located just behind the top of the brain stem, restricting the body’s production of melatonin hormone. Common symptoms of pineal region tumors include inflammation and pressure inside the skull, issues with coordination and balance, enlargement of the skull, headaches, vomiting, and eyesight problems.


8. Germ Cell Tumors
9. Pituitary Tumors
10. Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors

The 10 Most Common Brain Tumors
By HEALTH AREA

Viewer Discretion Is Advised
Courtesy of Dr. Farhad Limonadi, MD neurosurgeon at Palm Springs and chairman of brain tumor board at Eisenhower Neuroscience Institute, you will go through minimally invasive approach with a small opening of the skull and resection of a very complex brain tumor. You will see the screen the neurosurgeon sees as he navigates the brain with a neuro-endoscope. For more information on medical cases, neurosurgery and video please visit www.microneurosurgery.org.

Neuroradiology: Intraventricular, Posterior Fossa, and Brainstem Tumors brought to you by the Medical Student Neurosurgery Training Center.

In this rapid-fire video, Dr. Jared Pisapia from New York Medical College reviews some of the most common brain tumors he treats in neuroradiology, including tumors of the intraventricular region, posterior fossa, and brainstem.
