Analysis of the treatment methods of brain cancer: surgical treatment

In clinical practice, surgery is a common method of treating brain cancer. It is very popular because it can effectively treat brain cancer. So what are the common surgical methods for treating brain cancer? Here are some common surgical methods for treating brain cancer .

In general, common surgical treatments for brain cancer include:

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 is an introduction to the common surgical treatment methods for brain cancer. I believe everyone has some understanding of this. Patients should choose the treatment method for brain cancer that suits them according to their actual condition and should not choose blindly.
