Surgery is actually the most effective treatment for brain cancer

For most brain cancer patients, surgery is the method of treatment for brain cancer, because surgical treatment of brain cancer is generally very effective. Let's listen to the experts explain the surgical treatment of brain cancer to us.

1. For primary brain cancer, surgical resection is the most common treatment method to remove brain cancer cells as cleanly as possible and prevent cell proliferation. In surgical resection, studies have shown that using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) to mark cancer cells and make them fluorescent can help improve tumor resection rates. Currently, the product Gliolan has been approved for marketing in Europe.

2. For some deeper brain cancers that cannot be treated with traditional surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery is another surgical option for brain cancer treatment.

3. For early brain cancer, the effect of complete surgical resection is very good, and the patient's survival rate is also high. For example, astrocytoma of the brain or cerebellum, craniopharyngioma of the sella turcica, choroid plexus tumor of the ventricle, etc., no radiation or chemical drugs are needed to treat brain cancer, and the recurrence rate is low, but regular CT or MRI reexamination is required. Residual benign tumors that cannot be completely removed by surgery can be observed and tracked, or chemical drugs or radiation drugs can be used to treat brain cancer immediately.

The above information is about the methods of treating brain cancer. I believe that after listening to the experts’ introduction to the methods of treating brain cancer, everyone should have a certain understanding. I hope you can remember these methods of treating brain cancer. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
