There are different types of Gliomas- or brain tumors. Gliomas are named based on what type of brain cell they affect. The three types of Gliomas are called Ependymomas, Astrocytomas, and Oligodendrogliomas. “Only about two to three percent of brain tumors are Ependymomas. However Ependymomas makes up about ten percent of tumors in children.”(Brain Cancer and Gliomas) This particular type of tumor does not grow into the normal brain tissue, but has a high risk of recurrence. Some Ependymomas can be cure by surgery because of them being localized. Oligodendrogliomas are similar to Astrocytomas because they spread summarily. This type of tumor does spread into nearby tissue. Oligodendrogliomas spread and growth rate depends on the grade of the

Children are the least likely to get the disease. The cases of children having Glioblastoma are less than ten percent. The people most likely to have Glioblastoma are between the ages of 60 and 84. The races most likely to get Glioblastoma is Non-Hispanic Caucasians. Other risk for the development of Glioblastoma is radiation, environmental exposures and certain job professions. A few of those job professions are Farmers, Pathologist, Chemist and people who work with Crude …show more content…
This type of diet increases ketones and decreases glucose in the blood. Many tumor cells cannot process ketones properly like normal brain cells. However the number one goal is to start eating healthier. One way a person with Glioblastoma can eat healthier is by removing white food from their diet, next they can select fruits and vegetables with bright colors, and lastly they can watch out for phytochemicals. Phytochemicals are nutrients that come from plants. Phytochemicals also boost the immune system, which is good when taking chemotherapy and radiation which lowers the immune system. People with Glioblastoma should also hydrate with water and drinks high in
