How many methods are there to check for brain cancer

To accurately diagnose brain cancer, we need to combine auxiliary examinations with the patient's clinical symptoms. Once headaches, vomiting, blurred vision, cramps, coma and other symptoms occur, we must not take them lightly, as they may be symptoms of brain cancer. Experts point out that to confirm brain cancer, we must go to a regular hospital for standardized examinations. So how many methods are there for brain cancer examinations?

1. Imaging examination:
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. Imaging examinations include:
(1) Computerized tomography (CT) scan;
(2) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
(3) EEG and cerebrovascular photography.
2. Biopsy:
Despite advances in imaging, physicians often use imaging to diagnose brain lesions. However, there are still many patients who require a biopsy to confirm the pathological diagnosis, especially for patients whose brain tumors are assessed to be inoperable. Biopsy surgery can help with subsequent treatment. Biopsy now includes stereotactic biopsy and craniotomy biopsy. The specific examination method requires consultation with the attending physician.
