Surgery sometimes causes damage to the brain that can cause partial paralysis, changes in taste, weakness and intellectual disorders. However, surgery should be performed if its growth threatens important brain structures.
Although the tumor can not cure cancer, but it can reduce tumor size,
relieve symptoms and help determine the types of tumors and other medications. Well ... here you have to use other medications, according to the description above if you can not just rely on surgery, tetapai you must use other medications seprti traditional medicine, medical therapy and other treatment.
Some benign tumors must be removed surgically because they are constantly growing in the cavity
narrow and could cause further damage or cause death. Meningioma, schwannoma and ependymoma are usually removed surgically. After surgery sometimes
performed radiation therapy to destroy tumor cells remaining.
Meningioma is a type of brain tumor with slow growth, usually benign arising from Dura, there are the brain and spinal cord. Meningioma may occur anywhere there is in the Dura area of the brain, but the most common is through the hemispheres of the brain.
Schwannomas, is another name neurilemomas, who berasala of Schwann cells wrapping or coating of nerve fibers outside the central nervous system. Usually this type of tumor and solitaire and berkapsul including benign tumors grow slowly who although sometimes in few cases can progress to malignancy (sarcoma).
Schwannoma originating from Schwann cells that wrap Ependimoma neural cells derived from a limited part of the brain comes from meningen Meningioma (tissue that lines the outside of the brain) adenoma derived from glandular cells derived from bone structure Osteoma in the skull Hemangioblastoma derived from blood vessels.
Ependymomas are common supratentorial tumors. If the treatment of brain tumors do indeed carry the impression the side, like hair fall and nausea. Ask your doctor about possible side effects and how best to cope with your illness.
Malignant tumors treated with surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Radiation therapy began after as much as possible the tumor removed surgically. Therapy
radiation can not cure the tumor, but it helps minimize the size of the tumor so that tumor
can be controlled. Chemotherapy is used to treat some types of brain cancer. and while the primary brain cancer or metastatic brain cancer responds well to chemotherapy.
If there is increased pressure inside the brain, was given mannitol and corticosteroid injections for
reduce pressure and prevent herniation. Treatment of metastatic cancer depends on the source of the cancer. Radiation therapy is often done. If the spread is only one area, then it could be done surgically.
Antibiotics
Despite treatment, only about 25% of brain cancer patients survive after two years.
Better prognosis was found in astrositoma and oligodendroglioma, where the cancer is usually
no recurrence within 3-5 years after treatment.
Approximately 50% of patients treated meduloblastoma survive more than five years.
Treatment for brain cancer is more effective on:
- Patients under the age of 45 years
- Patients with anaplastic astrositoma
- Patients who are partially or almost the entire tumor was removed surgically.
Brain tumor symptoms vary, depending on tumor saiz, type and location. Symptoms may apply when kerosakan tumor specific regions of the brain or by pressing on the nerve. Brain tumor patients will often have a primary caregiver, the main people who helped and who care for patients. Communication between family experts may become more difficult in dealing with changes in roles and responsibilities. Brain tumors are usually treated with surgery, radiation, and / or chemotherapy. alone or in various combinations.
