Radiation therapy is one of the treatments for brain tumors

Experts say that the main treatments for brain tumors include radiotherapy, surgery, and traditional Chinese medicine. Since there are so many options, many patients don't know how to decide. Let's take a look at three treatments for brain tumors.

1. Radiotherapy is one of the treatment methods for brain tumors: Radiotherapy is suitable for patients with advanced brain tumors, but it is easy to relapse, and the relapse may be early or late. Tumors growing in important parts such as the brainstem and thalamus are difficult or impossible to operate on. Tumors treated with X-knife, radiotherapy, etc. may shrink or control their growth in a short period of time, and the tumor will no longer grow or recur. Benign tumors have a long course and grow slowly. They are not easy to relapse after complete surgical removal. Sometimes patients also experience olfactory hallucinations, oculomotor nerve paralysis, and hemisensory disorders.

2. Surgery: Surgical treatment is suitable for patients at all stages, especially those with early brain tumors. Vascular occlusion can be used to treat many diseases that have been poorly treated with surgery or medical treatment in the past, such as tumors, hemangiomas, and various bleeding, without cutting human tissue. Vascular occlusion is popular among patients because of its characteristics of no surgery, small trauma, fast recovery, and good effect.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: This treatment method for brain tumors is suitable for patients of all stages and has a very good effect. It can be used in combination with traditional chemotherapy drugs to increase the efficacy of the drugs and reduce the toxic side effects of chemotherapy. A series of anti-tumor Chinese medicines that can be taken orally can smoothly pass through the blood-brain barrier, reach the lesions along the meridians, selectively enter the tumor, block the blood circulation of the tumor tissue, block the blood oxygen supply of the tumor, cut off the malignant messengers of the tumor, and inhibit the replication and transcription of tumor cells.

The above is an introduction to the treatment of brain tumors. Have you understood it through the experts' introduction? If you are unfortunately diagnosed with a brain tumor, you must go to a regular large hospital for examination and treatment to avoid delaying the disease. The editor wishes you good health.
