Whether cerebellar tumors in seventy year olds can be operated should be judged according to the patient’s own condition and the characteristics of the tumor, and surgery is generally possible.
First of all, it is necessary to judge whether the patient’s physical condition can tolerate anesthesia and surgery. Under the premise that the patient can tolerate anesthesia and surgery, direct surgical resection is generally an effective treatment method. For patients who are in poor condition and cannot tolerate anesthesia and surgery, surgical treatment is generally not recommended.
In addition, surgical treatment is not recommended for some malignant tumors that have invaded the brainstem and for a small number of asymptomatic benign cerebellar tumors.
Surgery is an effective treatment modality. For most benign tumors, total removal of the tumor can be cured in most cases. For malignant tumors, under the premise of maximizing the scope of resection, supplemented with radiotherapy or chemotherapy after surgery, a better therapeutic effect can also be achieved.
Seventy-year-olds who find cerebellar tumors should consult a doctor in time and choose the appropriate treatment plan under the doctor’s guidance.
