How to cure glioma

The early symptoms of glioma are not obvious, usually manifested as headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, etc., and there is a high misdiagnosis rate. It is precisely because of the atypical symptoms that it is difficult to find glioma in general physical examinations, which also brings great difficulties to the early detection, early diagnosis and treatment of brain glioma. Therefore, many patients are worried about whether glioma can be cured. The following editor will explain to you how to cure glioma.

For gliomas, a variety of treatment methods can be used to shrink the tumor and reduce intracranial pressure. These methods include surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and drug therapy. However, no matter how effective radiotherapy and chemotherapy are, the first thing to do is to perform maximum tumor surgical resection under the safety permit of neurosurgery. Generally speaking, doctors who are good at surgery can remove most of the tumor tissue. The remaining part, which is difficult to remove with a scalpel, is what radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and drugs should deal with.

At present, surgical resection can, on the one hand, reduce the tumor to a very small residual amount and prolong the patient's survival period. On the other hand, it is to make adequate preparations for the best effect of auxiliary treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can only deal with a small part of tumor cells. Some intracranial tumors are even resistant to radiotherapy, which means that radiotherapy has no fundamental effect on tumor cells and often brings great side effects. Even for chemotherapy, most intracranial tumors are insensitive. In other words, without a more thorough surgical resection as a basis, the cure of intracranial tumors is a fantasy. Complete surgical resection of gliomas must be based on clean magnetic resonance MRI images, so that chemotherapy will have a better effect.

Warm reminder: Although brain glioma cannot be cured fundamentally, through professional surgical treatment combined with synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy, patients can achieve a longer survival period and a higher quality of life.
