Can CT detect brain cancer?

Can CT scan detect brain cancer?

1. Brain tumors include benign tumors, malignant tumors and metastatic tumors in the brain, etc. They often cause symptoms such as headache, nausea and vomiting, impaired consciousness, hemiplegia, aphasia, etc. They can be diagnosed through head CT and MRI.

2. In most cases, CT can be used for diagnosis, but if the malignant tumor is relatively small in the early stage, it is often missed. The resolution of MRI for intracranial tumors is higher than that of CT. Intracranial tumors include malignant tumors and metastatic tumors.

Can brain tumors be treated with chemotherapy?

Intracranial malignant tumors mainly include gliomas, malignant meningiomas, and germ cell tumors. In most cases, if they can be completely removed, most have a good prognosis. If they cannot be completely removed, or if they are high-level gliomas, they need to be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, radiotherapy is a process and generally does not have an immediate analgesic effect.

There are also some benign brain tumors, such as pituitary tumors, meningiomas, etc., which can be treated with three-dimensional targeted radiotherapy. Brain tumors include benign and malignant intracranial tumors.
