What are the signals of glioma onset?

There is no specific cause for glioma. Various studies have shown that there is no better treatment in China. Surgery is the main treatment. Surgery can only remove the tumor locally but not completely. Later rehabilitation treatment is also very important. Let's take a look at the signs of glioma onset.

According to reports, glioma originates from brain glial cells and is the most common intracranial tumor, accounting for about 45% of all intracranial tumors. It ranks second among childhood malignant tumors. In the past 30 years, the incidence of primary malignant brain tumors has increased year by year, with an annual growth rate of about 1.2%, especially in the middle-aged and elderly population. According to literature reports, the annual incidence of glioma in China is 3-6 people per 100,000 people, and the annual death toll reaches 30,000.

Glioma usually has no typical symptoms at the beginning. As the tumor grows, it will show the following symptoms: one is increased intracranial pressure and other general symptoms, such as headache, vomiting, vision loss, diplopia, epileptic seizures and mental symptoms. The other is local symptoms caused by the compression, infiltration and destruction of brain tissue by the tumor. The local symptoms vary depending on the location of the tumor.

Glioma is an infiltrative growth with no clear boundary between it and normal brain tissue. It is difficult to completely remove it, is not very sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and is very prone to recurrence. Benign and malignant tumors growing in important parts of the brain are difficult to remove surgically or cannot be removed at all. Chemical drugs and general anti-tumor Chinese medicines are not ideal in efficacy due to the influence of factors such as the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, brain glioma is still one of the tumors with the worst prognosis among all tumors in the body.
