Is craniotomy necessary for brain cancer?

Meningioma is an unnecessary growth tumor, most of which are benign and diagnosed early. Surgery should be performed to achieve complete resection before the tumor damages the surrounding brain tissue and important cranial nerves and blood vessels. Whether a brain cancer patient needs craniotomy needs to be judged based on the patient's condition. If minimally invasive surgery can remove smaller malignant tumors, most malignant tumors require radical surgery, including both benign and malignant tumors.

Can brain cancer be cured?

Brain cancer is a type of cancer. The risk of intracranial occurrence is usually relatively high. As the tumor grows, some functional impairment may occur. For early brain cancer, if it can be surgically removed and then combined with comprehensive treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it can also be cured. Generally speaking, whether it is primary brain cancer or secondary brain cancer, even if surgical resection is performed, active and effective radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy are taken after surgery, there is still a risk of tumor recurrence. Brain cancer is an intracranial malignant tumor.

Can I take painkillers for brain cancer pain?

The pain caused by intracranial malignant tumors is mostly caused by increased intracranial pressure caused by intracranial space occupying. In this case, painkillers are generally used, but the effect is not obvious. Some drugs that reduce intracranial pressure can be treated with mannitol and diuretics. If the pain of the brain tumor is not very severe, it can be tolerated. In this case, in principle, take less or no painkillers, because taking too much painkillers will irritate the human body, especially the gastrointestinal tract. Intracranial malignant tumors can cause headaches as the tumor grows gradually.
