I don't know what's going on with my baby, but he frequently feels nauseous and vomits. After a hospital examination, the doctor said he has a brain tumor. I'm very curious—what causes brain tumors in children?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Childhood brain tumors may form due to the combined effects of external and internal factors causing gene mutations in cells. Additionally, brain tumors may occur when the head is exposed to ionizing radiation. Moreover, if there is a family history of tumors, children may develop brain tumors due to genetic factors.
