How long can you live with brain cancer after radiotherapy

Brain tumor is a common neurological disease that has a great impact on the patient's brain. The early symptoms of brain tumor are not very obvious. Many patients are already in the late stage after being diagnosed with brain tumor. So how long can patients with brain cancer live after radiotherapy? Experts point out that how long patients with advanced brain tumors can live depends on whether the treatment methods used by the patients are appropriate. The patient's own physical function.

Whether the treatment method is appropriate is the most important factor affecting the survival of patients with advanced brain tumors. For patients with advanced brain tumors, surgical resection is almost impossible, and most of the clinical treatments are chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.
1. Chemotherapy is an adjuvant treatment for advanced brain tumors. It can be used in combination with radiotherapy to prolong survival and improve the quality of life to a certain extent. The improvement of the patient's physical function is also an important factor affecting the survival of advanced brain tumors.
2. Radiotherapy is also one of the commonly used treatments for advanced brain tumors. This therapy has a more direct killing effect on cancer, but because radiotherapy will inevitably damage normal cells, the irradiation intensity, irradiation range, and irradiation time must be carefully selected based on the overall condition.
3. In view of the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the human body, traditional Chinese medicine can be combined with treatment in the treatment of advanced brain tumors to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. For patients with advanced brain tumors with a wide range of metastasis, weak physical functions, and difficulty in tolerating chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conservative treatment. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good and has a significant effect in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.
During the treatment, the better the patient's physical function, the stronger the immunity, so the more resistance to the development of cancer cells and the more tolerance to various drug treatments. Therefore, improving immunity and enhancing resistance to brain tumors are very important for patients with advanced brain tumors. In terms of diet, patients should eat more foods that can protect intracranial blood vessels, such as celery, shepherd's purse, chrysanthemum brain, wild rice stem, sunflower seeds, etc.
