Is brain cancer prone to recurrence?

Intracranial tumors have a relatively high recurrence rate among malignant tumors. After tumor surgery, patients must receive standardized treatment, follow the doctor's advice, and receive radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. In daily life, patients must also maintain a stable mentality, good living habits, and proper exercise to enhance their resistance. Whether intracranial malignant tumors are prone to recurrence is related to the nature of the tumor, the location of growth, and the degree of surgery. If the tumor is highly malignant, such as a high-grade glioma, most of them will recur soon after surgery. In addition, some malignant tumors have more complex growth locations and cannot be completely removed. They often recur, and most of them have a poor prognosis. Regular follow-up is required after intracranial tumor surgery to detect recurrence early and give early treatment. If the tumor is sensitive to radiotherapy, radiotherapy can be considered after surgery to kill residual tumor cells and reduce the probability of recurrence in patients.

Is craniotomy necessary for brain tumors?

Whether a brain cancer patient needs a craniotomy depends on the patient's condition. If the malignant tumor is relatively small, it can be removed through minimally invasive surgery, but most malignant tumors require radical surgery and require craniotomy. Some tumors are first treated with radiotherapy plus chemotherapy, such as germ cell tumors. Large meningiomas require surgery, but most intracranial tumors are first treated with surgery, especially malignant brain tumors. Brain cancer is generally a malignant tumor of the brain.

Why do people get brain cancer?

Malignant tumors of the brain are generally not hereditary. The specific cause of brain tumors is not very clear now. Most people believe that it is related to trauma, viral infection, ionizing radiation, etc. It is necessary to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation and maintain a good lifestyle. This situation is generally not hereditary. The cause of brain tumors is not very clear, but most people believe that it is related to craniocerebral injury, intracranial infection, gene mutation, genetic factors, environmental factors, ionizing radiation, and bad living habits, so there is a certain chance of inheritance. Brain cancer is a malignant tumor among brain tumors. Brain tumors are very serious diseases. The main causes of brain tumors are: genetic factors, that is, congenital brain tumors.
