What causes brain tumors to grow?

I'm a 37 year old female. I was told that I have a small benign brain tumor. What causes brain tumors to grow?

We usually follow radiologically whether the tumor is removed or not, but if it is removed, we can look at the tumor microenvironment, genetic makeup, and start asking this question. If it does not change over time and it is small, there is no need to do this.
