Is radiotherapy for brain tumors effective?

Brain tumors pose a very serious threat to patients, so we must take treatment seriously and choose treatment methods scientifically. Radiotherapy is the most common treatment method. Patients are advised not to be pessimistic, cooperate with doctors, and adopt scientific treatment methods.

1. This is a question that many patients often ask. Indeed, facing a serious disease like brain tumor, it is difficult for people to calm down. However, experts remind us not to indulge in grief, and the right thing to do is to get out and receive treatment in time. The treatment of brain tumors is mainly through surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which requires correct radiotherapy and chemotherapy methods and culture.

2. Some types of brain tumors are more sensitive to radiotherapy and can achieve good therapeutic effects after radiotherapy. The indications for radiotherapy include: all intracranial malignant tumors, regardless of the extent of resection; tumors that cannot be completely removed by surgery; and rapidly growing tumors found by CT follow-up. Chemotherapy, like radiotherapy, is a commonly used treatment method, and the two are usually used in combination. In principle, it is used after surgery for malignant tumors and is performed in conjunction with radiotherapy. Recurrent intracranial malignant tumors are also an indication for chemotherapy. Implantation chemotherapy for intraspinal disseminated medulloblastoma in children can be the preferred method.

3. However, radiotherapy and chemotherapy cannot completely kill cancer cells. Some cancer cells will remain, which are prone to recurrence and spread. In addition, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have toxic side effects (dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, hair loss, leukopenia, etc.), which reduce the body's immunity and the patient's anti-cancer ability. The patient's physical condition is worse, which makes the condition worse and accelerates the spread and metastasis. Is radiotherapy and chemotherapy effective for brain tumors? It can be seen that the problems faced by brain tumor patients are relatively severe, but as long as they have confidence and can face the disease positively, I believe that the patient's condition can be effectively controlled. What should you do if you have a brain tumor? The only solution is to receive regular treatment as soon as possible.
