It's not common to have even one brain tumor. A tumor is defined as an abnormal cell growth, so even having one would be abnormal.

What if a brain tumor never gets treted?
It depends on what type of tumor it is. Some common tumors are left alone because the risks of surgery would be greater than leaving the tumor there. Most tumors are benign and cause few problems. Malignancies would have to be removed.
How many people have a brain tumor?
From my knowledge, in the UK around 25,000 people under the age of 30 in the world no more than a million
How common are brain tumors?
Very, very, common . More than 200 million people each year are diagnosed with brain tumors .
What are some of the causes of brain tumors?
Well there are two types of brain tumors: benign (tumor takes space in the brain and presses against it) or malignant (tumor that spreads and destroys surrounding cells). Like most tumors, the cells in the brain would be mutated and there cell cycle disturbed. These anormal cells will multiply making copies of themselves (by mitosis), therefore they will soon start to take some space. You could have meningioma (tumor of the cells of the meninges), gliomas (most common and serious tumor that spreads), astrocytoma (tumor of the astrocytes in the brain), etc... The beginning of the tumor can really be caused by anything environmental (such as what you eat) or even genetics (any family member had it), but we do not know more than that. For example, in skin cancer, we know one factor can be the sun exposure (because of UV rays which will mutate the skin cells). A good way to prevent brain tumors will be to take anti-oxydants in your died because free radicals (wastes of your brain) can be dangerous to the brain cells.
What is interosseous meningioma?
An interosseous meningioma is a rare type of brain tumor that arises from the meninges, which are the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This type of tumor typically forms within the bones of the skull or vertebrae, rather than in the brain itself. Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the tumor.
What type of tumor is more harmful- a benign or a malignant one and what is the difference?
A malignant tumor is cancerous and is likely to be more harmful than a benign tumor.
I have been having a headaches for more than a mounth does that mean I have a brain tumer?
Having headaches for more than a month does not necessarily mean that you have a brain tumor. You should see a doctor to have some lab work done and find out the cause of the headaches. It could be something as simple as a food in your diet that is causing them.

What is the medical term meaning cancerous tumor?
Intracranial solid neoplasm-A brain tumor is an intracranial solid neoplasm, a tumor (defined as an abnormal growth of cells) within the brain or the central spinal canal.Brain tumors include all tumors inside the cranium or in the central spinal canal. They are created by an abnormal and uncontrolled cell division usually in the brain itself, but also in lymphatic tissue in blood vessels, in the cranial nerves, in the brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary gland or pineal gland.Within the brain itself the involved cells may be neurons or glial cells (which include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells). Brain tumors may also spread from cancers primarily located in other organs (metastatic tumors).
