What are the treatments for benign brain tumors

Although benign brain tumors can be ruled out as malignant, patients should not relax and must actively take treatment and coping measures. Common treatments include radiotherapy and CyberKnife surgery.

1. Radiotherapy

Radiation therapy is a treatment method that uses various energies of radiation to irradiate tumors in order to inhibit and kill cancer cells. Radiotherapy can be used alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, etc. as part of comprehensive treatment to improve the cure rate of cancer. By performing a period of radiotherapy before surgery to reduce the size of the tumor, patients who were originally unable to undergo surgery can have the opportunity to undergo surgery. For advanced cancer, palliative radiotherapy can be used to relieve compression and relieve pain.

2. CyberKnife

Cyber ​​knife, also known as "stereotactic cyber surgery platform", also known as "network knife" or "computer knife", is the world's latest whole-body stereotactic radiosurgery treatment equipment and currently the most advanced gravity radiotherapy in the world. Cyber ​​knife can treat tumors in various parts of the body with only 1 to 5 irradiations. It has the characteristics of high precision, large dose, and strong lethality to kill tumor tissue. It is the only whole-body radiosurgery form that combines the advantages of "no wounds, no pain, no bleeding, no anesthesia, and short recovery period". Patients can go home after surgery without hospitalization. In modern times, the treatment technology in Shanghai is relatively mature.

3. Brain tumor prevention

Pay attention to food hygiene and avoid carcinogens such as benzopyrene and nitrosamines entering the body. Pay attention to personal hygiene, exercise, enhance resistance and prevent viral infection. Avoid brain trauma and treat it promptly if it occurs. People who have already suffered from intracranial tumors should not have children again. In daily life, you should eat more yellow-green vegetables and fruits, such as carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, dates, bananas, apples, mangoes, etc.
