How long can you live with stage 4 brain cancer?

For brain cancer, it is best not to choose Western medicine and surgical treatment. Surgery can easily cause cancer cell metastasis. You can take more Chinese medicine for treatment, which is particularly harmless to the body and has no side effects. Usually you must maintain a good mood, not have too much mental stress, and get enough sleep, which has a good control effect on the disease. Generally, the tumor is removed by craniotomy, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Because the tumor infiltrates and grows, there is no obvious boundary between the surrounding brain tissue, and the tumor cannot be completely removed by surgery. In addition, the tumor grows rapidly, so the tumor will recur rapidly after surgery. After recurrence, a second or even multiple surgeries are required. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are required after surgery to slow down the recurrence of the tumor. Brain cancer grade 4 is a highly malignant tumor with a poor prognosis.

How much does head radiation therapy cost?

The cost of head radiotherapy is not easy to calculate, because radiotherapy is not calculated by the number of times, but generally by the course of treatment. A course of treatment ranges from four to five weeks, and is divided into ordinary radiotherapy, three-dimensional conformal therapy, and enhanced radiotherapy. Radiotherapy, commonly known as electrotherapy, is a treatment method that uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. The treatment range is limited, but the local control effect is good. Advanced intracranial malignancies often present with symptoms of severe increased intracranial pressure, leading to headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, impaired consciousness, and even coma. If you can tolerate surgery, you can have surgical resection. If you cannot have surgery, you can be treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and other methods. Depending on the final dose, the cost is about 500 yuan per time.

Can recurring brain cancer be cured?

Brain cancer is a malignant intracranial tumor that can still be treated after recurrence. After recurrence, comprehensive anti-tumor treatments such as auxiliary surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy can be considered. At the same time, pay attention to regular follow-up examinations, symptomatic treatment of various complications, and improve the patient's quality of life. If a brain cancer patient relapses, the possibility of cure is very small. It is recommended to be hospitalized in the neurosurgery department of a regular tertiary hospital as soon as possible. Whether the recurrence of a brain tumor can be cured depends on the patient's specific situation.
