What are the examination measures for glioma

Gliomas, also known as neurogliomas, are malignant brain tumors. Therefore, active examination and treatment of gliomas are very important, which will greatly benefit the treatment of the disease. Therefore, we must go to the hospital for examination in time. Next, let’s take a look at the examination measures for gliomas.

(1) Examination of cerebrospinal fluid: The pressure of lumbar puncture is usually increased. For some tumors, such as those located on the brain surface or within the ventricles, the amount of cerebrospinal fluid protein may increase, the number of white blood cells may also increase, and tumor cells may be found in some cases.

(2) Ultrasound examination: can help determine the side and observe whether hydrocephalus is present.

(3) Electroencephalogram (EEG) examination: The EEG changes of brain glioma are limited to changes in brain waves at the tumor site.

(4) Radioisotope scanning (Y-ray brain imaging): Fast-growing tumors with abundant blood supply have high blood-brain barrier permeability and high isotope absorption rate.

(5) Radiological examination: including skull radiography, ventriculography, computed tomography, etc.

(6) Magnetic resonance imaging: It is more accurate than CT in diagnosing brain gliomas, provides clearer images, and can detect tiny tumors that CT cannot show.

After diagnosis, as an auxiliary means of cancer treatment, some Chinese herbal extracts such as ginsenoside Rh2 can be used to replenish vitality, increase white blood cells, enhance the body's immunity and resistance, and inhibit the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. At the same time, brain gliomas are not very sensitive to chemotherapy, so choosing these auxiliary means can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
