Will brain cancer cause inability to walk?

Can brain cancer cause an inability to walk?

1. If the patient's condition is serious, the tumor may compress the motor center, causing unstable walking or inability to walk. It is recommended that if the patient is diagnosed with a brain tumor, he should be hospitalized in the neurosurgery department of a regular tertiary hospital as soon as possible, and the condition and physical condition of the patient should be fully evaluated. If there is an indication for surgery, the tumor should be removed as much as possible, and then local brain radiotherapy should be performed.

2. Generally speaking, general drug treatment can choose to reduce intracranial pressure or anti-epileptic drugs. Patients need to change all bad living habits during the treatment process to effectively treat. If the cancer cells of brain cancer patients compress the motor nerves.

Differences between benign and malignant brain tumors

Compared with systemic tumors, malignant brain tumors such as grade 4 glioma, medulloblastoma, and brain metastasis have shorter survival time, higher mortality rate, and greater difficulty in treatment. Benign brain tumors are mostly expansive growths, with low proliferation ability, clear boundaries, slow growth, and symptoms take a long time to disappear.

Glioma develops rapidly. Although surgery can reduce the size of the tumor and relieve pressure, it is prone to recurrence after surgery. Destructive growth leads to neurological dysfunction and irreversibility, making malignant tumors difficult to cure.
