Fact #4
Unlike some other cancers, brain tumors do not discriminate against gender, ethnicity, age, overall fitness, or socioeconomic status. As such, every demographic population is at risk of getting a brain tumor. Even individuals that appear to be in excellent physical shape can get a brain tumor.
In addition to being the second leading cancer-related cause of death for children under the age of 20, brain tumors are also the second highest cause of cancer deaths in adult males aged 20-39, and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths in females between the ages of 20-39.
