Patient: Can I take Chinese herbal medicine to regulate the process of radiation therapy? Doctor: Yes. However, many so-called Chinese herbal medicines are hormone-adulterated drugs. The ingredients of Chinese medicine are not clear, so it is difficult to say what effect it has. However, the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide has been proven. Patient: Is it true that glioma can be controlled with Chinese herbs? What kind of medicine is it? Can I buy it there? Doctor: It is not true. Glioma is one of the most difficult tumors to deal with. There is no satisfactory treatment, including surgery and post-operative radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Claims that herbal medicine is used to treat difficult-to-treat diseases are not the only case of glioma. Almost all diseases that are difficult to cure are claimed to be cured by herbal medicine. Certain remedies to relieve symptoms do exist. But there have never been reproducible trials published in regular medical journals. Patient: Can dementia be recovered after glioblastoma surgery Doctor: It depends on the cause of the dementia. Generally speaking, if it is due to brain damage from post-operative radiation therapy it is not recoverable. Patient: What are the symptoms of twitching in the arms and legs at night after papillary neuron glioma surgery? Doctor: We can only say that it may be partial epilepsy. The specific whether it is epilepsy depends on the EEG examination. Also related to the tumor and the site of surgery. Patient: Is it reliable to treat glioma with gamma knife without surgery? Doctor: not reliable, gamma knife has the suspicion of abuse, because of its non-invasive, many people hold the psychology that it is not bad to try, resulting in the excessive use of gamma knife. The most effective indications for Gamma Knife are benign tumors and arteriovenous malformations under 3cm. Others are still being explored. However, gliomas are not recommended for Gamma Knife due to their poorly defined boundaries. Patient: Can a child with brainstem glioma be cured with herbs and alkaline food? Doctor: No, it cannot be cured. Brainstem glioma is one of the most difficult diseases in the medical field. The current standard treatment is: if it is an operable area, surgery first, and according to the pathological results, decide whether to use radiotherapy and chemotherapy; if it is inoperable, stereotactic surgery + chemotherapy can be used. Eating Chinese medicine and alkaline food are “no way out” and cannot be considered as the main treatment. Patient: Pineal glioma biopsy 1 very low grade malignancy. I have twitching in the right side of my face, dizziness, and loss of vision. Is it possible to recover from this? Will it be hereditary? Doctor: Pineal tumor theoretically rarely produces convulsions directly. Dizziness and loss of vision are common (caused by high cranial pressure). For low-grade malignant ones, and in a high surgical risk place like the pineal region, direct tumor excision is not advocated. Bypass is the right thing to do. But it is not a radical tumor. It is possible to marry, and glioma is not directly hereditary, so it is possible to have children. Of course any disease is genetically predisposed, so children have an increased risk of getting glioma.
