What are the contents of brain cancer pathological examination

Clinical diagnosis of malignant brain tumors is not only to confirm the characteristics of the tumor, but also to observe the tumor's growth site, metastasis, and the degree of damage to the patient's body, etc. Therefore, brain cancer patients must undergo detailed examinations in all aspects. The following are some common clinical examination methods. What are the contents of brain cancer pathology examination?

Biopsy: Although advances in imaging examinations have enabled physicians to often diagnose brain lesions through imaging examinations, in some cases a biopsy is necessary to confirm the pathological diagnosis, especially when a brain tumor is assessed to be inoperable. Biopsy surgery can help with subsequent treatment. Currently, biopsy examinations include stereotactic biopsy and craniotomy biopsy.
Imaging examination: In addition to clinical symptoms, with the advancement of science, imaging examinations can quickly and accurately diagnose malignant brain tumors, and are also very helpful for postoperative follow-up treatment. Currently, imaging examinations include:
(1) Computed tomography (CT)
(2) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
(3) EEG and cerebrovascular imaging.
