Brain cancer risk rises after penetrating traumatic brain injury
Odds are raised following moderate to severe and penetrating injury in a cohort of mostly male veterans.
Moderate to severe and penetrating traumatic brain injury are associated with an increased risk for subsequent development of brain cancer, according to a US study.
Researchers included data for over 1.9 million veterans (80% male) in a retrospective cohort study to examine whether a history of traumatic brain injury exposure is associated with later brain cancer.
