What are the main treatments for brain cancer?

What are the main treatments for brain cancer? I believe many people have this question. Brain cancer refers to a new growth in the cranial cavity, also known as an intracranial tumor. There are many ways to treat brain cancer now. Let us follow the experts to learn about the treatments for brain cancer .

1. Surgery is one of the treatments for brain cancer. For primary tumors, surgical resection is performed to remove tumor cells as cleanly as possible and avoid cell proliferation. Brain tumor resection is still the most common treatment mode. In surgical resection, studies have shown that the use of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) to mark cancer cells and make them fluorescent can help improve the tumor resection rate. The product Gliolan (medac GmbH) has been approved for marketing in Europe. For some deeper tumors or tumors that cannot be removed by traditional surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma knife, Cyberknife or Novalis Txradiosurgery) is also another surgical option.

2. Chemotherapy. Currently, chemotherapy for cancer has made great progress, but due to the special structure of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), chemotherapy for brain tumors is still subject to many limitations. Any chemotherapy drug can only pass through the vascular endothelial cells through the lipid solubility of the drug, and then enter the tumor cells to take effect. This mode affects the speed and efficiency of the drug's action.

3. Radiation therapy is also a treatment for brain cancer. Radiation therapy uses radiation or gamma rays or high-speed neutron rays to kill tumor cells.

The above is an introduction to the treatment of brain cancer. I hope the above content can help you. I also hope that patients with brain cancer can actively treat it, maintain a good attitude, and recover soon!
