Can chemotherapy be used for advanced brain cancer?

1. In the late stage of intracranial malignant tumors, severe symptoms of increased intracranial pressure often occur. Most surgical treatments are ineffective for tumor recurrence. Treatment can be combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other methods, but most have a poor prognosis.

2. Chemotherapy is one of the main methods for treating cancer. It is usually used as an auxiliary treatment after surgery to kill the remaining cancer cells in the body, but it is generally not able to completely cure the disease. It is recommended that patients adjust their mentality, pay attention to increasing nutrition, and help patients relieve pain. Chemotherapy is very necessary for advanced brain cancer.

Will brain cancer cause pain on both sides of the head?

Tumors are mainly divided into two different diseases: benign tumors and malignant tumors. If a benign tumor occurs, surgical treatment can be chosen for treatment, and the effect is relatively good. Tumor diseases may cause severe physical discomfort and headaches. If some patients have tumors in the brain, it may also cause compression of the nervous system and even cause severe headache symptoms.

As the malignant tumor in the brain gradually grows, it will cause increased intracranial pressure, leading to headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc. In most cases, the pain of the tumor is persistent pain. Early detection and early treatment should be achieved as much as possible. Pain on both sides of the head is not necessarily a symptom of brain cancer.
