Which method is better for curing glioma

Brain tumors have always been a disease that has a great impact on the health of patients. Once the disease develops malignantly, it directly affects the life and health of patients. Therefore, most patients are concerned about which method is better for curing gliomas and which method is less likely to recur after treatment. The following editor will introduce several treatment methods for gliomas.

1. Drug treatment. General drugs do not work, including chemotherapy drugs. It has a strong resistance to conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This is because of the blocking and filtering of the blood-brain barrier, and secondly, it is determined by the characteristics of glioma. Therefore, chemotherapy is controversial in the treatment of brain tumors. Many doctors do not advocate chemotherapy, believing that the effect is too small and the side effects are too great, which is not worth the loss.

2. Radiotherapy. There are many types of radiotherapy, such as CyberKnife, Gamma Knife, Proton Knife, etc. However, only "medulloblastoma" is highly sensitive to radiotherapy, and "ependymoma" is moderately sensitive. Other brain tumors are not sensitive to radiotherapy.

3. Surgery. Obviously, surgery can only treat the disease temporarily, and it will recur afterwards, with the characteristics of "leek-like" regeneration and proliferation; secondly, gliomas often grow in the brain in a crab-claw-like infiltrative manner, with no clear boundary with normal brain tissue, and it is difficult to completely remove them during surgery, which is not convenient for surgery; thirdly, simple surgical resection will stimulate and accelerate the growth rate and degree of malignancy of the tumor.
