What are the symptoms of brain cancer? How to treat it?

Chemotherapy for brain tumors should be decided based on the patient's condition. Generally speaking, benign tumors do not require chemotherapy. Only malignant tumors that have undergone resection surgery require chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is the use of chemical drugs to kill tumor cells or inhibit cell growth, which can improve the condition of the primary lesion.

What is the five-year survival rate after complete resection of a malignant brain tumor?

The concept of malignant brain tumor is relatively broad and has multiple classifications. How many years a patient can live after surgery depends on factors such as the type of brain tumor, whether or not the patient receives postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the sensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the patient's physical condition, and cannot be generalized.

The survival of patients with brain malignant tumors depends mainly on the nature of the tumor. Most patients have brain gliomas, which usually progress quickly. Patients can survive for months or years, or even more than ten years, depending on how early and how correctly the treatment is carried out. The 5-year survival rate of malignant brain tumors is 20%-30% if they are completely removed.
