Can a 20-year-old college student develop a brain tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
possible but rare: There are primary brain tumors in children(that didn't come frome somewhere else) but they are pretty rare. Likewise spread of a cancer from somewhere else to the brain in a 20 yr old would be very unusual.
