Why do brain gliomas recur?

Why do brain gliomas recur? One reason is that the tumor is too deep and was not completely removed during surgery. Another reason is that the patient did not take precautions after surgery and did not do the "taboo" work. This is closely related to some details of life. Some patients also take precautions, but even so, the disease is not under control. Why do gliomas recur after resection? Let's find out.

Gliomas grow in an invasive manner with no obvious boundary from normal brain tissue. It is difficult to completely remove the tumor cells through surgery. They are not very sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and are 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 very effective due to factors such as the blood-brain barrier, so glioma is still one of the tumors with the worst prognosis among all tumors in the body. A considerable number of intracranial tumors recur after surgery because the tumor cannot be completely removed or the tumor grows again.

Preventing recurrence after surgery in the treatment of brain glioma is still a problem that is recognized by modern medicine at home and abroad as difficult to solve. Most general treatments can only improve symptoms and reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For this behavior of glioma, the ability of surgeons is limited, so they can only resort to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Practice has shown that radiotherapy and chemotherapy do significantly delay the recurrence of malignant gliomas, but they still cannot cure gliomas. It is generally believed that these measures cannot eradicate residual infiltrating cells.

Therefore, brain glioma is a disease that is very prone to recurrence. Patients should pay more attention to it in their lives, avoid staying up late, drinking alcohol, and nightlife, and avoid spicy food and prefer light diet.
