Brain stem mother cell tumor grade IV refers to glioblastoma, which is generally very difficult to cure. Based on clinical experience, the average survival of patients is about one year.
Glioblastoma is mostly located in the brain parenchyma, which will lead to increased intracranial pressure and cerebral edema, and patients usually have severe headache, limb weakness, consciousness disorder, speech disorder and other manifestations. Brainstem glioblastoma grows rapidly and usually has a poor prognosis.
The location of glioblastoma, post-surgical treatment, the patient’s general health condition and other factors will affect the patient’s survival period. Due to the special location of brainstem glioblastoma, the tumor cannot be removed by surgery, and it can only be treated by the comprehensive treatment of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which can only prolong the patient’s survival period to a certain degree, but it is difficult to be cured.
It is recommended to go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable treatment in order to maximize the prognosis.
