How to treat glioma

summary

The condition of gliomas is complicated, which is mainly caused by genetic factors and spinal gliocyte canceration. Let's see how to treat glioma.

How to treat glioma

Method 1: at present, the treatment of glioma includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and so on. Specific treatment, to consider the patient's functional status, the expected results of treatment and tumor location, the degree of malignancy and other factors, to make a comprehensive judgment, so as to develop individualized comprehensive treatment.

Method 2: surgery is often the first step in the treatment of glioma. Surgery can not only provide the final pathological diagnosis, but also quickly remove most of the tumor cells, relieve the symptoms of patients, and provide convenience for the next step of other treatment. For some low-grade gliomas, such as hairy cell astrocytoma, complete resection can make the patient get radical cure and long-term survival.

Method 3: after surgical treatment, patients with high-grade glioma often need further radiotherapy. For patients with low-grade gliomas, if there are high-risk factors (such as tumor volume more than 6 cm, incomplete resection and other factors), radiotherapy should also be considered.

matters needing attention

Glioma is difficult to cure, often relapse. After tumor recurrence, according to the functional status of patients, surgery or radiotherapy can be performed again to control the disease as much as possible and avoid aggravating the harm.
