Latest research on brain cancer

Average rating:

'Some people worry that mobile phones, power lines or viruses can cause brain cancer, but there is currently no evidence to suggest this is the case. The only definite environmental risk for brain cancer is exposure to radioactivity. Some forms of brain cancer are more common in people who have received radiotherapy in the past, particularly if at a young age.'

My friend has just been diagnosed as having a brain tumor, she is waiting to hear how serious it is. Prior to the diagnosis she was fit and healthy but suddenly collapsed at work. On visiting my friend last week it wasn't until I was home later in the evening that I visualised her face and remembered that she had a lot of spots on her lower face. She is 40 ish and it suddenly came to me that my brothers mother-in-law also had a brain tumor in her 40's and she also had a problem with facial spots. (sadly she died). Is there any connection? Could the spots be telling us something? I have not yet asked my friend if she is on any medication for them and I would need to speak to my ex sister-in-law about her mum (if she can remember), but Could it be medication for spots, If they were on them?, Could it be a severe imbalance of hormones or poisons in the system causing the spots and if so if the signs are the spots shouldn't there be tests to show what the imbalance is?
