Only by combining the diagnosis of brain cancer can patients receive treatment as early as possible

Brain cancer is a very difficult disease to cure. In the early stage, it will cause a lot of trouble to the patient's life, and in the later stage, it will threaten the patient's life. However, patients generally do not combine the diagnosis methods of brain cancer, which may lead to the failure to detect the disease in time. Therefore, everyone should understand the diagnosis of brain cancer so that patients can cooperate with treatment as soon as possible. Let's take a look at the diagnosis of brain cancer.

Diagnosis of brain cancer includes:

1. X-ray of the skull. It helps to understand whether there is increased intracranial pressure, local destruction or hyperplasia of the skull, whether the sella turcica is enlarged, the displacement of pineal calcification and pathological calcification in the brain tumor, etc. It is helpful for positioning and qualitative diagnosis, but the positive rate of X-ray is less than one-third, so brain tumors cannot be ruled out due to negative X-rays. This is one of the diagnostic measures for brain cancer.

2. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a common method for diagnosing brain cancer. It is valuable for locating fast-growing brain tumors in the cerebral hemispheres, where the amplitude of the affected side is reduced and the frequency is slowed down. However, it is not very helpful for diagnosing brain tumors in the midline, deep in the hemisphere, or under the tentorium.

3. Fundus examination is also one of the diagnostic methods for brain cancer. Observe whether there is optic nerve head edema. Optic nerve head edema is a sign of increased intracranial pressure. It is called the "three symptoms" of increased intracranial pressure together with headache and vomiting. However, it is only seen in one-quarter of patients, so the possibility of brain tumor cannot be simply ruled out by a negative eye examination.

The above is the diagnosis of brain cancer. I hope everyone can understand it one by one. As long as the above diagnostic methods of brain cancer are combined, patients can detect the disease in time and receive effective treatment. So please remember these brain cancer diagnoses, which will definitely help the patient's condition. Finally, I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
