As researchers try to solve the mystery of what causes brain tumors, they ask many of the same questions that parents do. Is the number of brain tumors in children increasing? Are some brain tumors inherited? Can exposure to certain things in the environment be to blame? What are these environmental risk factors, and what has been proven through scientific studies? In this talk, a leading epidemiologist addresses these questions and reports on the current state of epidemiological studies related to pediatric brain tumors.
