If a brain tumor is detected, do I have to undergo surgery?

Brain tumors are one of the more difficult types of tumor diseases, and its complications, sequelae and surgical risks are among the best, so patients are like a great enemy and smell it. What I want to talk to you about today is the best way to talk to you about brain tumors, to see if there is only one way out of brain tumors, and interested partners should continue to look down.

First of all, not all brain tumors require open surgery. In fact, there are many people around us who have "lifelong tumors" in their brains, this is because these tumors are benign tumors, the area is not large and there is no compression of various nerves and blood vessels, rather than the risk of surgery, it is better to be safe with it "well water does not make river water" to have nothing to do with it, so in the face of this kind of tumor, doctors generally do not recommend surgery, after all, "the lesser of two powers", patients only need to observe regularly.

Secondly, there are also some brain tumors that will have some compression symptoms, and even affect normal life, but craniotomy is not a child's play after all, doctors in order to reduce the trauma and sequelae, may combine the location of the tumor and the condition to choose precise rays**, this kind of brain non-invasive surgery is also an advanced product of contemporary medicine.

In addition, some patients are unable to undergo surgery for various reasons, so TCM intervention is also a good choice, although TCM can not completely ** brain tumor, but for the patient's symptoms, *** and adverse reactions, TCM can still give great help and comfort, which can be regarded as a "roundabout" strategy for patients.

Finally, if it is a malignant brain tumor, and the area is large, the development is fast, there are many complications, and there is pressure on blood vessels and nerves, then surgery** is the most direct and effective way.

In short, the onset and conditions of brain tumors are diverse, and doctors will make reasonable judgments and plans whether surgery is required, and what patients need to do is to actively cooperate with doctors and maintain a good state of mind and mentality, so that they can fight side by side with doctors to fight off the disease and finally achieve victory and recovery.

If it is benign, you can consider not having surgery, if it is malignant, even surgery may not be good, and it is best to follow the doctor's advice.

Depending on the specific situation of the patient, the general patient does not have other major diseases or is in poor physical condition, and needs surgery**.

I think the results have confirmed the brain tumor. The principle of early detection of tumors is early detection. The most fundamental method of tumor lesions is surgical resection.

Need to combine the nature of your brain tumor lesions, such as glioma, meningioma? , pituitary tumor? Depending on the nature of the tumor, surgery may be used.

You need to go to a regular hospital and have a professional doctor do a detailed examination to know whether to have surgery or not!

1. There are many types of brain tumors: some are primary, and the common ones are glioma, meningioma, and pituitary tumor. Some are secondary, and the common ones are lung cancer brain metastases, breast cancer brain metastases.

2. Brain tumors can grow in various parts of the brain, and some have fixed parts, such as pituitary tumors in the sellar region and acoustic neuromas in the pontine cerebellar angle area. Some tumors grow everywhere, such as meningiomas and gliomas, which can grow anywhere in the skull.

3. Tumors in the brain, some of which have symptoms very early, such as headaches, seizures, visual impairment, hearing impairment, endocrine disorders, etc. Some are asymptomatic for a long time and are only detected during a physical examination or CT scan at the time of a head injury.

4. For further examination of brain tumor, neurosurgeons will propose different examination methods according to the location of the tumor, such as enhanced CT, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, magnetic resonance arterial angiography, magnetic resonance venous angiography, etc. Others do a lumbar puncture to test for cerebrospinal fluid. Each patient has different tests.

5. Some cerebrovascular diseases sound like "tumor", but they are not brain tumors, such as cerebral aneurysms are local bulges of the cerebral blood vessel wall, and cerebral cavernous hemangiomas are occult vascular malformations.

6. Brain tumors are divided into benign and malignant, but malignant tumors have a relatively low grade, that is, close to benign, such as low-grade glioma, benign tumors with malignant transformation, or malignant behavior, such as hemangioperithelioma.

7. Some symptoms of brain tumors are related to the location of the tumor, such as tumors of the brain parenchyma, which may be prone to epilepsy, and some are related to the nature, such as pituitary tumors, which may present with endocrine symptoms. There are also compressive symptoms, such as sellar tumors that manifest as visual field impairment.

8. There are many ways to treat brain tumors, first of all, surgery, most tumors can be operated on now, and the surgical effect is not bad; For tumors in deep functional areas, we can also take radiation**, and some tumors are also more sensitive to radiation**, such as germ cell tumors and lymphomas. There are also many radiation** methods, such as gamma knife, cyberknife, proton knife, etc. There are also chemotherapy methods, etc.

Brain tumors can be divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors, and in the case of malignant tumors, it is necessary to see whether it is a primary tumor or a metastatic tumor. At present, it is mainly an MR examination, which needs to be screened for benign tumors or malignant tumors, and can also be screened for primary tumors or metastatic tumors.

As soon as they hear about tumors, no matter how excited and excited they were in the last second, their faces turned blue in an instant, as if they had heard the call of death.

In fact, there are benign and malignant tumors when they are large, and there are various kinds of tumors when they are small, and they are not necessarily tumors.

Meningioma is a derivative of the meninges and meningeal space, and is a type of intracranial tumor, with a peak incidence of disease from the age of 45 onwards. Meningioma is divided into many types, which are benign tumors with slow growth and long pathology. Headache and epilepsy are the main symptoms for the first time in most people, and epilepsy is more common in the elderly, and many patients have only a mild headache.

With the development of modern medical technology, CT examination has become increasingly popular, most people are accidentally found meningioma during the examination, because of slow growth, but the clinical symptoms are not serious, for such patients, doctors recommend that no medicine, no surgery, only need to go to the hospital regularly for a CT examination; For patients with severe meningioma, surgery is recommended, surgery is the most effective and most effective treatment, microsurgery technology has been developed very maturely, the effect of meningioma surgery is constantly improving, and most people can do it after surgery.

Therefore, meningioma does not necessarily require surgery, and some patients only need to go to the neurosurgery department of a regular hospital regularly for a CT examination to know their condition at any time.

Meningioma surgery may be moderate or major. Meningiomas are the most common benign tumors in the skull and are not located in the brain parenchyma. The arachnoid endothelial cells that originate in the meninges are actually tumors outside the brain, inside the skull.

Meningioma surgery can be large or small, but if it is superficial, the meningioma can appear on its own after opening the skull, so the surgery is relatively simple. The brain is similar to a walnut, and some meningiomas grow to the heart of a walnut, which is more difficult to operate. However, for meningioma of any site, under the conditions of microscopic technology and intraoperative monitoring of modern neurosurgery, meningioma can basically achieve 90% total resection, that is, total resection, and meningioma basically will not **.

Therefore, meningioma surgery may be moderate surgery or major surgery, and the prognosis is better. Because meningioma is benign, it can achieve a total resection rate of more than 90% under current medical conditions.

First of all, it is important to understand that any surgery is risky, and the difference lies in the size of the risk, especially in the brain department.

The risk of head tumor surgery is influenced by many factors, such as:

1. It is related to the size, location and nature of the tumor; For example, in the brainstem, surgery is more difficult and risky.

2. The patient's physical condition is related to whether there are other underlying diseases, such as the installation of cardiac stents.

3. It is related to the professional skills of doctors.

4. It is related to whether there are complications after surgery.

5. It is related to the surgical method, such as the risk of minimally invasive is less than the risk of craniotomy.

This is also the reason for the preoperative evaluation, to choose a better frontal surgery method, to maximize the protection of the patient's life safety and relieve the impact of the disease, while ensuring a higher quality of life.

Although surgery is risky, some tumors have to be operated on, and we cannot stop surgery because of the risk of surgery, we will seek a balance between removing the tumor and ensuring the function of the organs, and we cannot sacrifice the quality of life for the sake of removing the tumor.

There are great safety risks in the brains of the big guys. It depends on the site of the surgery and the level of the doctor.

The need for a biopsy depends on the patient's condition and cannot be generalized.

The full name of biopsy is biopsy, which provides a pathological diagnosis of the disease, and its purpose is to provide stronger evidence for diagnosis, as well as to understand whether the tumor is malignant or benign, as well as to provide a reference for later stage.

For advanced cancer, if the biopsy is a tumor with a high degree of malignancy, it is not meaningful to do resection surgery, because it will be ** soon after resection.

Of course, whether it needs to be done or not depends on the actual situation of the patient and his family.

However, it is important to remember that biopsy is a bit demanding on localization and route planning, and if the path is not accurate, the tissue may not be diseased.

If you have a tumor in your head, I don't think it's necessary to do a biopsy because you have to remove the tumor anyway, so you can do a biopsy after the surgery.

The main purpose is to diagnose whether the patient has a tumor and whether the tumor is benign or malignant, and can be judged by microscopic observation of whether there is tumor necrosis, obvious cell atypia, invasive growth, etc.

What does biopsy mean:

Biopsy surgery mainly refers to the ability to accurately surgically remove the diseased tissue or the representative lesion site of the tumor under intuitive conditions, send it to the pathology department after surgical resection, make a standard pathological section, observe the changes in its morphology and structure under the microscope, and finally give a clear pathological diagnosis, so as to guide the clinical targeting.

The purpose of biopsy surgery is not only to clarify the nature of the lesion or the benign and malignant nature of the tumor, but also to distinguish the different histopathological types, degree of differentiation, clinical stage and other conditions of the tumor, so as to guide the clinical **, judge the prognosis and follow up the follow-up.

When to do a biopsy:

A biopsy should be done when the nature of the lesion is determined, especially if a malignant tumor is suspected. For example, if lung malignancy is suspected, a piece of lung tissue should be biopsied with flexible bronchoscopy and microscopic clamping.

What is a meningopanioma?

Meningioma is a primary intracranial tumor with arachnoid gauntlet cells, which is more likely to occur in the convex surface, skull base, and parasellar region of the cerebral hemispheres, and is mostly benign. And meningiomas grow slowly and have mild symptoms.

Therefore, it is not necessary to be prompt for meningioma**.

Meningiomas smaller than 2 cm and asymptomatic can be observed close for the time being without treatment. This is usually discovered through other means such as medical examinations.

If meningioma does not meet the indication for surgery, it is mainly treated symptomatically. For example, headaches can be given as analgesics**.

Surgery is the best way to do meningioma, and the vast majority of meningiomas can be. However, the premise of surgery** is that the tumor compresses the brain tissue, and surgery will only be chosen when there are obvious compression symptoms**, after all, surgery has a certain amount of trauma.

Meningioma also has hormones, chemotherapy and gamma knife.

Treatment of meningioma

Treatment, mainly surgical resection. In principle, complete resection should be sought, and the meninges and bone invaded by the tumor should be removed in order to **. Meningioma is a tumor that grows outside the parenchyma, most of which are benign, and if it can be diagnosed early, surgery should be performed before the tumor has used the surrounding brain tissue, important cranial nerves, and blood vessels to be damaged.

According to the growth location and growth characteristics, meningioma resection needs to be cut off together with the surrounding meninges to completely reduce **.

At present, surgery is the safest, most effective and fastest way to deal with medical technology. Or there will be some methods in Chinese medicine, but many of the current Chinese medicine has declined. Therefore, it is recommended to go under the knife.

Do you want to be fine just by taking medicine? Surgery is necessary, otherwise it will worsen and lead to more serious consequences or even death.

Not necessarily, it depends on the patient's condition, and the current surgery is not the same as the previous surgery, with the current technology, as long as it is not a very serious condition, it is very easy to treat, but it still depends on the patient's condition!

There are various methods for intracranial tumors depending on the location and size, as well as the age and constitution of the patient. In general, if the patient's constitution is good, and the location of the tumor is not located next to the important area and large blood vessels, surgery is required. However, if the patient's surgery is risky, or the patient's constitution does not allow it, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also be used.

There are a variety of other methods that cannot be operated, such as gamma knife, X-ray knife, and some tumors that are sensitive to chemotherapy drugs.
