Can ct detect brain cancer

Intracranial malignant tumors include gliomas, metastatic tumors, and malignant meningiomas. Most of them will present with symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, impaired consciousness, hemiplegia, aphasia, and even coma. It is necessary to do head CT or MRI examination in time. Generally, CT can be used for diagnosis. Intracranial malignant tumors mainly include malignant meningiomas, gliomas, metastatic tumors, etc. Head CT can detect intracranial tumors. In terms of resolution, CT resolution is not as high as MRI resolution. Some tumors are relatively small and may be easily missed. MRI is generally more accurate. If the brain cancer lesion is relatively large, CT can be used to detect it.

How long can you live with advanced brain metastases?

Brain metastasis depends on the location, size, and speed of development. Patients can survive for a period of time with isolated metastatic lesions in non-important functional areas, even if they are large. However, if there are multiple and extensive metastases, causing hydrocephalus and intracranial hypertension, or metastatic lesions in joints, such as the medulla oblongata, brainstem, or cerebellum, it will quickly lead to very serious neurological damage and the patient's survival period will be very short. The survival time of patients with brain metastases is related to different pathological properties, different primary lesions, and whether the metastasis is accompanied by bone, liver, kidney and other important organs and bone metastases. When a malignant tumor metastasizes to the brain, the clinical stage is stage four, which is the late stage, and the survival period is poor.

What to do if a brain cancer patient has a headache

In the late stage of brain tumor, in addition to considering surgical treatment, gamma knife treatment can be used for treatment. It is necessary to control the growth, development and spread of the tumor in order to alleviate symptoms and prolong life. In this case, it is unlikely to be cured, but it is possible to control the disease and alleviate the disease and prolong life. Late stage of intracranial malignant tumor often leads to severe symptoms such as increased intracranial pressure, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, impaired consciousness, and severe symptoms such as coma. It can cause headaches and can be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but most of them have a poor prognosis. If the pain is caused by intracranial tumors, you are on the field.
