Are there any enviornmental cause to brain tumors?

WebMD is a good website.  However, it is NOT true that only doctors can have an informed opinion on this.  I am a research biologist who studies cancer in my laboratory.  So, I think my opinion is valid even though I am not a Medical Doctor.  Please see my answer on your previous question for a more thorough explanation of the causes of cancer.\n\nRadiation is known to induce mutations, which can then result in cancer.  However, it is NOT clear whether the radiation dosage from power lines or cell phones is sufficient to cause cancer.  I suspect it is NOT or else we would be experiencing a cancer epidemic in America.

There are a ton of reasons why you may have headaches.   It could be stress, vision problems, even jaw problems.  These are the most common causes.  Rarely, very, very, rarely is it from a tumor or something in the head.  And usually there are other symptoms that would go along with a tumor.  If these headaches are bad enough to bother you, you should absolutely go to the doctor and just make sure everything checks out.  Good Luck!

Here's a directory that may guide you to specific sites for various kinds of brain tumors, including Foundations. Was there a specific type of brain tumor Foundation you were looking for?\n\n http://dmoz.org/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Cancer/Brain_and_CNS/\n\nhttp://dmoz.org/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Cancer/Brain_and_CNS/Support_Groups/\n\nAmerican Brain Tumor Association\nhttp://hope.abta.org/

You have a brain tumor and a possible sinus infection.

There's a lot of studies that say it causes cancer.  Personally I think everything causes or is said to cause cancer so why worry about it.

there could be many causes such as environment factors, stress, diet or even allergy to certain substances...

Not likely but why run the risk? It makes since that constantly irritating tissue could cause cancer.

Malignant cells cause cancer. Cells become malignant for a lot of reasons, some of them known, some of them unknown. Some viruses, carcinogenic materials, and genetic mutations are some possible causes.

you cna't prevent cancer 100% So many things cause cancer. Genetics, overexposure to radiation and harmful chemicals etc. \nMy advice would to just live a healthy life by eating right and exercising.

There is growing proof that these so called diseases are being caused by the very products we use in our homes and schools. Chemical imbalances in the brain are being caused by chemicals we use every day. Bleach, lysol, lysterine, Dawn dishsoap, tide, cascade, windex etc. all have toxic chemicals in them that can cause problems with the central nervous system and brains chemical balance. Now because you probably use the same products your parents brought you up using. It seems like heredity. Luckily there are companies that make products that can help. My favorite company is Melaluca it has done wonders fot my family and me.

no...but any tumor in a spinal canal can create enough pressure to kill neurons and cause irreversible damage.  Doctors call them SOL's.  Not because when you get them you are S h it outta luck...but they are called Space Occupying Lesions.

(m)\n\nNanotechnology Tackles Brain Cancer\n \n   \n\n Brain cancer can be counted among the most deadly and intractable diseases. Often diagnosed after a patient exhibits symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, uncharacteristic behavior changes, or paralysis, the growing mass of a brain tumor will continue to squeeze out normal tissue and degrade the brain’s function if left untreated. But treatment is elusive. Tumors may be embedded in regions of the brain that are critical to orchestrating the body’s vital functions, while they shed cells to invade other parts of the brain, forming more tumors too small to detect using conventional imaging techniques. Brain cancer’s location and ability to spread quickly makes treatment with surgery or radiation like fighting an enemy hiding out among minefields and caves, and explains why the term “brain cancer” is all too often associated with the word “inoperable.” \n\nMaking treatment even more challenging, there is a system of blood vessels and protective cells in the brain — the blood-brain barrier — that admits only essential nutrients and oxygen, and keeps out everything else, including about 95 percent of all drugs. This natural barrier puts serious limits on how much a patient can benefit from traditional chemotherapy and new cancer drugs. \n\nIn an ideal situation, we would have a “smart” drug that could cross the blood-brain barrier, zero in on the cancer cells, mark their location clearly for surgery, or destroy them with such precision that it would leave surrounding, normal brain cells intact. Until now, such a scenario seemed so far-fetched. But using nanotechnology, NCI-supported researchers at the University of Michigan, the University of Washington, the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and Virginia Commonwealth University are creating ultrasmall particles that can target and destroy cancer cells in the brain, even those in tumors too small to be removed surgically.

It appears that you have a cranial tumor.  The phrase "the mass" is the clue for the layperson.  Ask you doctor right away and/or call the physician that wrote the report.  Get answers as to the diagnosis and treatment alternatives.  Most cranial tumors are astrocytoma but there are a few that are benign.  All tumors of this area need treatment.  Radiation is usually the modality that can help shrink the lesion, benign or malignant.  Good luck

No.  While a tumor can cause a severe headache, the two are unrelated.

Age could be a factor, as well as current medical conditions, medications, where the tumor was, and scheduling a surgery,\nthe possibilities are endless

No, it's FAR too low energy to cause such problems.\n\nA high energy source, such as a microwave oven of mobile phone mast has the hind of power required to alter DNA structure and cause cancer.  Various studies hint that a mobile phone will do it with prolonged use as well.
