Is radiotherapy for brain cancer useful?

Radiotherapy for brain cancer is also effective, but the complications of radiotherapy are mainly cerebral edema and headache, nausea and vomiting, and possible hair loss. In fact, the most serious are headache, nausea, cerebral edema, and intracranial pressure, which must be controlled. Dehydration hormones are used to control lesions and edema. This must be done. If there is headache and dizziness, the doctor must be notified to take drug treatment. After radiotherapy, we are completely advanced, and robotic radiotherapy is the same as surgery. This mainly refers to the fourth stage of glioma.

What foods should brain tumor patients eat more?

Brain tumor patients can eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, meat, eggs, and milk. Avoid eating foods that are too salty or sweet, fried, smoked, or pickled. Eat less and don't eat too much. For lung cancer patients who receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy, there will be varying degrees of gastrointestinal function decline, so it is recommended to give priority to light and easily digestible foods, avoid overly greasy and indigestible foods, and avoid increasing the burden on the digestive tract. Brain tumor patients should usually maintain a good lifestyle.

Is surgery suitable for advanced brain cancer?

Brain tumors include benign intracranial tumors, malignant tumors, and metastatic tumors. Most tumors can be completely removed if the tumor grows in a non-functional area or is relatively small. Generally speaking, the risk of surgery is not great. If the important part of the growth is not clearly demarcated from the surrounding tissues, and special parts such as the brainstem are difficult to operate on, if it cannot be completely removed, there is a certain risk of combined treatment with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and other methods. Late-stage intracranial malignant tumors often cause severe increased intracranial pressure, and even symptoms such as impaired consciousness and coma. If you can tolerate as many surgical resections as possible, and cooperate with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, you can also use palliative care to relieve the patient's pain. Malignant tumors are common in brain tumor bleeding.
