Is Traditional Chinese Medicine Useful for Treating Brain Cancer?

1. Intracranial malignant tumors must be treated with timely surgery. If it is a low-grade glioma, early surgical treatment can be cured. If it is a high-grade glioma, it must be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery. Traditional Chinese medicine generally only plays an auxiliary role, and some Chinese medicines to enhance immunity can be used.

2. Brain tumors are recommended to be diagnosed by a cranial CT scan. Malignant tumors in the brain include gliomas.

What are the symptoms of advanced brain cancer?

Brain cancer may also metastasize and spread in the late stages. It is mainly intracranial metastasis, also known as implantation metastasis, which is relatively common. Metastasis outside the brain is relatively rare. The main reason is that the body's circulatory system has a strong ability to reject free brain tumor cells, and at the same time, the brain lacks the lymphatic channels for metastasis.

More than 90% of brain cancer patients have symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, which are manifested as headache, nausea, vomiting, and headache mostly located in the forehead and temporal area. It is a persistent headache with paroxysmal aggravation, often worse in the morning, and normal in the intervals.

Brain cancer is a general term for primary malignant brain tumors and metastatic malignant brain tumors.
