Can MRI detect brain cancer?

Brain cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs inside the skull. Generally, there are no symptoms or the symptoms are not obvious in the early stage. MRI is an imaging examination that can usually see the tumor, but in order to confirm the nature of the tumor, a pathological examination is generally required. Malignant tumors inside the skull can generally be detected by MRI. MRI has a higher resolution in diagnosing tumors, which is better than CT. Malignant tumors tend to grow faster and must be treated promptly in the early stages after discovery. MRI of the brain can completely screen for brain cancer.

Is chemotherapy necessary for brain cancer?

According to your current description, if it has been confirmed that you have brain cancer, generally speaking, for this treatment method, it is recommended that you go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This treatment method can only be treated through radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or go to the hospital for a genetic test. If a target is found, you can choose targeted therapy or biological immunotherapy. Personally, I recommend that you do this. Systemic chemotherapy is currently mainly used to treat malignant tumors. Surgical resection is the first choice for the treatment of benign brain tumors. Patients who cannot or do not want to undergo surgery can consider radiotherapy, such as stereotactic radiotherapy or gamma knife and other treatment methods. Chemotherapy is not required. Brain cancer is divided into primary intracranial malignant tumors and secondary intracranial malignant tumors.

Is brain cancer treatment expensive?

It is best to detect and treat it early. If it is not treated in time, it may lead to vision loss. During the treatment, you must relax your mind, maintain an optimistic mood, and don't be anxious. The diet must be diversified, and eat more high-protein and high-fiber foods. Brain tumors can be benign or malignant. The cost of treating brain tumors is difficult to determine. Generally, the cost of treating benign tumors is relatively low, and it may cost tens of thousands of yuan, while the cost of treating malignant tumors is relatively high, and it may cost hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. The specific cost needs to be analyzed according to the condition of the disease. In your case, it is more difficult to say. A brain tumor as big as a fingernail is considered small. Since the local hospital cannot determine whether it is benign or malignant, it is more difficult to say in this case. How to treat it specifically?
