What should be done before brain cancer surgery?

The incidence of brain tumors is very high nowadays. Once the disease occurs, it will cause a lot of damage to the patient's brain. Therefore, patients need to be treated in time. So, what should be done in the preoperative examination for brain cancer? Doing some relevant examinations before treatment will help the treatment effect. The following will introduce to you what are the precautions for preoperative examination of brain tumors.

Patients with brain tumors need to undergo a series of detailed examinations before surgery, including medical history, physical examination, neurological examination, and imaging examination. If necessary, auxiliary examination methods such as cerebral blood flow, isotopes, ultrasound, electrophysiological examination, and cerebrospinal fluid laboratory examination can be used to make a clear diagnosis and determine whether there is a brain tumor and its nature, location, surrounding structures, blood circulation, and vascular supply.

Then, generally, a reasonable treatment plan will be formulated based on the above-mentioned preoperative examination of the brain tumor to decide whether surgery or radiotherapy is needed first. If surgery is required, the appropriate surgical approach should be selected to achieve the best treatment effect by removing the tumor as completely as possible without damaging normal structures. If the tumor is found to have a very rich blood supply, the blood supply artery will be embolized before surgery.
