What are the main treatments for brain cancer?

What are the main treatments for brain cancer? I believe many people have this question. There are many ways to treat brain cancer now, so which ones are more effective? Let us learn about the common treatments for brain cancer .

1. Symptomatic treatment is mainly aimed at increased intracranial pressure, such as the use of dehydration drugs to reduce intracranial pressure; anti-epileptic drugs are used for epileptic patients. Because the tumor is located in a critical part and cannot be surgically removed, and when drug treatment is not effective, palliative surgery such as cerebrospinal fluid shunt, decompression under the temporalis muscle, decompression under the occipital muscle, or decompression craniectomy can be performed. This is one of the treatments for brain cancer.

2. Etiological treatment: ① The main treatment is surgical resection of the tumor. The principle of surgical resection is: all benign tumors should be completely removed to achieve a cure; all malignant tumors or benign tumors located in important functional areas should be mostly or partially removed according to the patient's condition and technical conditions to achieve decompression. ② All malignant tumors or benign tumors that are sensitive to radiation but cannot be completely removed should be treated with radiotherapy after surgery. ③ Malignant tumors, especially gliomas and metastatic tumors, can be treated with chemical drugs through different channels and methods in addition to radiotherapy after surgery, which is referred to as chemotherapy. In order to improve the effect of malignant brain tumor surgery and prolong the patient's survival, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are used, collectively referred to as comprehensive treatment of brain tumors.

3. Chinese medicine treatment can be used as one of the comprehensive treatment measures, suitable for some patients who are not suitable for surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or recurrence after surgery. This can also be a treatment method for brain cancer.
