Will glioma affect life expectancy?

Many patients do not know much about glioma. Once they hear that they have glioma, they will feel very desperate. Many people begin to worry about how long they can live and whether they will die in a few days. So today, we will take you to understand whether glioma will affect life expectancy.

First, let us understand what kind of disease glioma is:

Gliomas are tumors that occur in the neuroectoderm, so they are also called neuroectodermal tumors or neuroepithelial tumors. Tumors originate from neural interstitial cells, namely glia, ependyma, choroid plexus epithelium, and neural parenchymal cells, namely neurons. Most tumors originate from different types of glia, but based on their histological origins and similar biological characteristics, various tumors that occur in the neuroectoderm are generally called gliomas.

So does glioma have any impact on life expectancy? In fact, glioma is a disease that rarely becomes malignant. If the patient actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment and the disease is well controlled, it usually will not become malignant, and it will not have much impact on life expectancy. However, if it is not treated well and the patient does not follow the precautions given by the doctor in daily life, then any disease will have a certain impact on life expectancy, and glioma is no exception.

In a sense, if the treatment is not timely and the care is not proper, even a cold can affect a person's life span. Glioma is a disease that especially needs to be controlled and cared for in terms of diet and life. So finally, let's tell you two points about the daily life precautions of glioma patients:

1. Diet therapy is extremely important for glioma patients to increase their immunity. In terms of diet, glioma patients should eat foods that protect intracranial blood vessels: celery, shepherd's purse, chrysanthemum brain, wild rice stem, sunflower seeds, etc.; foods that prevent and treat intracranial hypertension: corn silk, red beans, walnut kernels, etc.; foods that protect against chemotherapy and reduce side effects: mushrooms, white fungus, black fungus, day lily, walnuts, etc.

2. Contraindications for overtreatment: The so-called "overtreatment" means that the intensity of treatment given by the doctor to the patient exceeds the patient's treatment needs. The result not only causes unnecessary pain and body damage to the patient, but also makes the patient worse.
