What is the cause of glioma recurrence

Tumor is a very scary word. Once a case is linked to this disease, the subsequent treatment costs and the degree of pain of the patient can be imagined. Glioma is a disease that often occurs in the brain, and its treatment is also very difficult. Let's understand what are the causes of glioma recurrence?

What is glioma: Glioma is a tumor that occurs in the neuroectoderm, so it is also called neuroectodermal tumor or neuroepithelial tumor. The tumor originates from neural interstitial cells, namely glial cells, ependyma, choroid plexus epithelium and neural parenchymal cells, namely neurons. Most tumors originate from different types of glial cells, but based on the similar histological origin and biological characteristics, various tumors that occur in the neuroectoderm are generally called gliomas.

At present, the common treatments for gliomas at home and abroad include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, X-knife, gamma knife, etc.

Glioma is a brain tumor with a high recurrence rate. Currently, there is no effective way to prevent recurrence. The recurrence time of this disease depends on the degree of differentiation and treatment. Generally, traditional treatments usually recur within 1-5 years. Regular follow-up visits and active treatment after recurrence.

A considerable number of brain gliomas recur after surgery because the tumors were not completely removed or regrown. In the past 30 years, modern medicine at home and abroad has continuously developed treatment methods and examination methods for intracranial tumors, but the surgery is not completely removed and the recurrence rate after surgery is high. Although there are many treatment methods and drugs to prevent recurrence, there has been no major progress in the treatment effects of many patients. Compared with not undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery for intracranial malignant tumors, there is not much difference in the length of recurrence time between those who undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy and those who do not undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Most people just have more side effects.
