summary

Gliomas, also known as brain gliomas, account for about 46% of intracranial tumors. In fact, the incidence of gliomas in brain tumors is relatively high. Generally, the age from 10 to 40 is the high incidence age of gliomas. In fact, the incidence of glioma is mainly concentrated in the hemisphere of the brain, where the occurrence of glioma accounts for almost 50% of the brain glioma, and the shape is mostly astrocytes. Other parts of the brain are prone to attack where keratinocytes gather. Now let's talk about it.

How to treat cerebellar glioma?

First: there are many ways to treat glioma. In our country, the treatment of glioma is mainly through surgery. There are many kinds of surgery, such as simple surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Other special operations, such as X-knife and gamma knife, are also used to treat the disease.

Second: through the simple surgical treatment of brain glioma is generally need to have certain characteristics of brain glioma can be implemented. For example, glioma must be invasive growth, and the boundary between glioma and brain tissue is not particularly obvious. Such glioma can be treated by surgery, but surgery can not completely remove the glioma with the above characteristics.

Third: glioma can be treated by radiotherapy. And almost every stage of glioma is suitable for radiotherapy. But there are different evaluation of the curative effect, some people may be able to completely cure glioma by radiotherapy, but some people are not particularly sensitive to radiotherapy after glioma, and the effect is not significant after treatment.

matters needing attention

Some special operations, such as X-knife and gamma knife, strictly belong to the category of radiotherapy. Such operations are generally limited to the type of gliomas less than 3cm, and astrocytomas are not suitable for such operations.
