What is the best way to treat a patient with advanced brain cancer who has a fever and feels weak all over?

What is the best way to treat fever and lack of strength in the late stage of brain cancer?

1. Generally speaking, patients with advanced cancer may have a fever, which is a phenomenon caused by the patient's decreased body resistance, or it may be caused by some drug factors, such as various infections. Therefore, in the late stage, it may be a priority to relieve the patient's pain and improve their quality of life.

2. According to the current description, for advanced brain cancer, surgery should be chosen to remove the cancerous lesions whenever possible, depending on the growth site and distribution range of the cancer cells. However, due to the particularity of brain tissue, advanced brain cancer is generally difficult to treat surgically. Some chemotherapy or radiotherapy methods are generally not applicable because they will damage brain tissue while killing cancer cells. It is recommended to choose an appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.

3. The symptoms of fever in patients with advanced brain tumors are mainly caused by the release of heat sources caused by cancer necrosis or inflammation caused by leukocyte infiltration.

Can brain cancer cause a coma?

As the tumor grows in size, brain tumors can cause compressive edema to the surrounding normal brain tissue, leading to increased intracranial pressure, headaches, vomiting, drowsiness, limb dysfunction, coma, and other symptoms. Brain cancer patients may also fall into a coma, and a complete brain MRI examination is needed to clarify the scope and severity of the lesion.

If brain edema is significant, it may compress the corresponding brain tissue and cause the patient to fall into a coma, which requires active symptomatic treatment. The coma of patients with advanced brain tumors is a gradual growth of the tumor.
