How to treat glioma effectively

Glioma is a brain tumor disease with great harm, and it is difficult to cure and easy to relapse, which troubles patients. How to improve the treatment effect has become the most important issue that patients are concerned about. In addition to receiving treatment, protection is also very important. The following editor will introduce how to treat glioma effectively.

1. Surgery: It is often the first step in the treatment of gliomas. Surgery can not only provide a final pathological diagnosis, but also quickly remove most of the tumor cells, relieve the patient's symptoms, and facilitate other treatments in the next step. For some low-grade gliomas, complete surgical resection can enable patients to be cured and survive for a long time.

2. Radiotherapy: After surgical treatment, patients with high-grade gliomas often need further radiotherapy. For patients with low-grade gliomas, if there are high-risk factors (such as tumor volume exceeding 6 cm, incomplete surgical resection, etc.), radiotherapy should also be considered.

3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy and targeted therapy are gradually playing an important role in the treatment of gliomas. For some high-grade gliomas, the use of temozolomide can significantly prolong the patient's survival prognosis.
