ABSTRACT
Brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE) is a complication that significantly impairs the quality of life and course of treatment of patients with brain tumors. Several recent studies have shed further light on the mechanisms and pathways by which genes and biological molecules in the tumor microenvironment can cause epilepsy. Moreover, epileptic seizures have been found to promote the growth of brain tumors, making the control of epilepsy a critical factor in treating brain tumors. In this study, we summarize the previous research and recent findings concerning BTRE. Expectedly, a deeper understanding of the underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms leads to safer and more effective treatments for suppressing epileptic symptoms and tumor growth.
