How to completely treat glioma

Glioma is a brain tumor disease that has been plaguing humans for a long time. Because it is difficult to cure and is prone to recurrence, it seriously affects the patient's life and health, so many patients want to be completely cured. So how can glioma be completely cured? Let's take a look at the treatment methods of glioma.

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 the disease will recur after a while, with the characteristics of "leek-like" regeneration and proliferation; secondly, gliomas 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 cut it clean during surgery, which is not convenient for surgery; thirdly, such incomplete surgery will stimulate and accelerate the growth rate and malignant degree of the tumor.

4. Regardless of whether or not surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy is performed for brain tumors, you should take medicine (Chinese medicine) and combine Chinese and Western medicine. This is certain (surgery is possible in the early stage, but surgery is more harmful in the late stage or in a bad location). Usually we always say "combining Chinese and Western medicine". When encountering such a serious disease, it is time to combine Chinese and Western medicine. Comprehensive treatment should be used instead of just one method.
