A member asked:
Would it be unusual for two siblings to both have brain tumors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: In the sense that no brain tumor is "normal", it would not be "normal" for siblings to both have brain tumors. There are some inherited / genetic syndromes that run in certain families, and in those rare situations, it might be possible for family members to develop brain tumors. Hope that this helps.
