Study Summary
Study Objective: Brain tumors are poorly understood. The purpose of this research is to examine whether factors in lifestyle play a role in brain tumor development. The study will also investigate the contribution of inherited susceptibility to the risk of brain cancer. By gaining a better understanding of these influences, the investigators hope to learn how to prevent brain tumors in future generations, and to develop more effective strategies for treatment. Study Protocol: This is a case-control investigation. Persons affected with a brain tumor are compared to unaffected persons on previous medical history, diet and other factors. Those enrolled in the study will participate in an interview on general background, diet, medical history and lifestyle, and will provide a sample of DNA, clippings of your toenails, and a tap water sample from your home. All procedures are performed in the clinic or through the mail. 'Cases': Cases eligible for the study are persons with a recent diagnosis of a primary brain tumor (glioma or meningioma), at least 18 years of age. 'Controls': Controls in the study are non-family members of patients, similar in age and of the same gender. Suitable controls include in-laws, friends, neighbors and co-workers.
