How long does it take to cure glioma

If you have a malignant tumor like glioma, you will suffer from the troubles of the disease. Therefore, patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and find a treatment method that suits them, so as to alleviate the pain. So, how long will it take to cure glioma? Let's take a look at the treatment methods of glioma.

Chemotherapy: For patients, chemotherapy may be used after surgical treatment. This method can prevent recurrence to a certain extent. Since most drugs are not easy to pass through the blood-brain barrier, and most tumors are not sensitive to chemotherapy. Therefore, the drugs used are very limited. Commonly used anti-brain tumor drugs include carmustine (BC-NU) and chloroethylcyclohexane nitrosourea (CCNU).

Surgery: Surgery is necessary for malignant tumors, because only by removing the brain tumor can the tumor grow and severely compress the nerves. If a benign brain tumor can be completely removed, it can be cured and will not recur. For gliomas growing in the frontal, temporal or occipital regions, lobotomy can also achieve good results. If the swelling and pain cannot be completely removed, partial removal and decompression can be performed.

Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy can be performed after surgery to delay recurrence. The radiation sources often include 60Co-γ rays, accelerator high-energy X-rays, electron beams, etc.

Other treatments: It is not certain whether hormone therapy is effective in slowing tumor growth, but it is a promising approach for recurrent meningioma.

Although Western medicine is very direct in treating meningioma, damage to the patient is inevitable. Therefore, experts suggest that no matter how Western medicine treats meningioma, it is best to combine it with tonic Chinese medicine during the treatment. This can not only improve the patient's immunity, strengthen the body, prevent the spread and metastasis of cancer cells, but also reduce the side effects of Western medicine treatment on patients, making the treatment effect more ideal.

It is very difficult to completely cure brain glioma. Since the treatment of the brain is very difficult, brain glioma is a more serious disease, more difficult to treat, and it is easy to relapse, so everyone should treat it seriously to avoid recurrence.
