What is the chance of recurrence of malignant brain cancer

What is the chance of recurrence of malignant brain cancer? The recurrence of brain tumors represents the worsening of the disease. There are many types of brain tumors that are common in the skull, and the recurrence rates of each type are different. Whether a brain tumor recurs is also related to the surgical situation, postoperative treatment, and brain tumor pathology.

At present, the treatment of brain tumors is nothing more than conventional methods such as surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The treatment methods selected for patients with different conditions are also different. Generally, patients with larger tumors and patients with acute increased intracranial pressure need to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. Delaying it can easily endanger life. For patients with brain tumors who cannot undergo surgery or have relatively high surgical risks, whole-brain radiotherapy and the latest technologies such as Riptide, Tomo Knife and other three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy can be considered. Patients with recurrent brain tumors who have undergone surgery and whose blood-brain barrier has been opened can also consider chemotherapy, but the side effects of chemotherapy are relatively large, and it needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on the patient's specific situation.

Okay, let's get back to the point. For the same tumor, some people have obvious effects with medication, while others have little effect. This is because of individual genetic differences and different tumor gene mutations, which lead to different drug effects. Domestic tertiary hospitals generally recommend genetic testing for tumor drugs, develop medication plans with higher efficacy and lower toxicity, and find symptomatic targeted drugs. For people with a family history of tumors, the risk can be checked through tumor susceptibility gene testing, which is of great clinical significance for tumor prevention.
