  Hi jtownsend03, thanks for your question! Unfortunately, I do not study brain tumors myself. I study how the brain changes in psychiatric disorders, but we still don’t know how to prevent them either! The general advice to prevent cancer (and prevention is super important!) is to keep a healthy lifestyle, such as a healthy balanced diet, avoiding alcohol, not smoking, doing regular exercise and being careful when in the sun.
