Is there any treatment for a thyroid cancer patient who has metastasized to the brain?

At present, the diagnosis has been confirmed and the treatment of thyroid cancer has been very successful, but the patient is already in the advanced stage of cancer and has metastasized to the brain. If there is lung metastasis and the prognosis is poor, treatment can only be used to delay the progression of the disease. Radiotherapy for brain metastases can control the disease, but it is difficult to achieve a cure.

What should I do if I have a headache due to a brain tumor?

Oncologists recommend prescriptions for milder pain levels. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics such as ibuprofen extended-release capsules can be used for palliative treatment. If the pain level of the tumor is moderate and severe, opioids such as tramadol extended-release tablets or morphine extended-release tablets are needed for treatment. The pain of brain tumors is usually caused by tumor compression. If the compression symptoms cause headaches, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible. If surgical treatment is not possible, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy can also be used. Some dehydration drugs can be used to reduce intracranial pressure. If you have a brain tumor and have obvious pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment by a professional doctor as soon as possible. Surgery can effectively solve the problem and eliminate the tumor. It is recommended to go to a tertiary hospital at or above the municipal level for surgery to effectively improve the success rate of the operation and avoid surgical risks and sequelae.

Can a blood test detect a brain tumor?

Generally speaking, brain tumors cannot be detected by blood tests because most nervous system tumors do not have specific hematological indicators. If you want to diagnose whether you have a brain tumor, you can do imaging examinations such as cranial CT or MRI to determine. Brain tumors are usually diagnosed through the head. CT or cranial MRI examinations ultimately found that blood tests are of certain significance for the diagnosis of brain tumors, especially for the diagnosis of primary lesions of brain metastases. Intracranial tumors should generally be diagnosed through CT or MRI examinations of the head.
