👉 A neurocytoma is a type of brain tumor that develops in or around the nervous system. It is often caused by mutations in genes related to the nervous system, such as the ones associated with axonal growth and differentiation. Neurocytomas are typically benign and can be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or other forms of treatment depending on their size and location within the brain. They may also have a higher risk of recurrence if left untreated.
