[Help] My beloved is 52 years old and usually in good health. But some time ago, he felt dizzy, headache and easily fatigued, so he thought it was because of work tension and didn’t pay attention to it. We have never encountered such a situation before, and we feel as if the sky is falling, so we are at a loss. Is a brain tumor incurable? Is there any hope for my loved one? [Comment] “Brain tumor” is a common name for intracranial tumor. Intracranial tumor refers to tumors growing in the cranial structure, which can be primary or metastasized from tumors in other systems of human body, and some of them are congenital tumors. Intracranial tumors mainly include: glioma, meningioma, pituitary adenoma, craniopharyngioma, auditory neuroma, primary central nervous system lymphoma, germ cell tumor, chordoma and brain metastases. About half of the intracranial tumors are malignant. Intracranial tumor is a kind of occupying lesion. As its size increases, it will cause the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and neurological impairment by compressing the surrounding normal brain tissue, such as headache, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, hearing loss, tinnitus and impaired movement of one side of the limb. Benign tumor grows slowly and has a long course, while malignant tumor grows fast and can appear acute cranial hypertension symptoms soon. After the above symptoms appear, you should go to hospital as soon as possible to receive examination and clear diagnosis. 【Response】 At present, CT and MRI scan of head is the main means to diagnose intracranial tumor, especially the 3D image of MRI enhanced scan can clearly show the location, size, morphology of tumor and the relationship with surrounding brain tissues, blood vessels and nerves. A correct diagnosis can usually be made through imaging examinations. Individualized, complete and rational treatment plans are made according to the characteristics of each patient’s tumor, its growth site, and its relationship with the surrounding normal tissues and structures. A combination of treatment including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is used for all intracranial tumors. For those who have symptoms of cranial hypertension, drug therapy should be applied first to control the intracranial pressure and improve the symptoms. Traditional craniotomy can be used to remove the tumor, or minimally invasive microsurgery technique can be used to remove the tumor to reduce the surgical trauma and sequelae, protect the important neural structures and functions, and improve the patient’s quality of life. For some smaller tumors located deep in or in important functional areas, tumor removal can be performed under the guidance of neuronavigation. The surgically resected tumor can be diagnosed with exact pathology and the next treatment plan can be considered according to different tumor types. Benign tumors such as meningiomas and auditory neuromas are usually cured after complete surgical removal, and if there are tumor remnants, there will be tumor recurrence that can be surgically removed again. For malignant tumors such as glioma and metastases, even if the surgery is complete, radiotherapy and chemotherapy must be given, otherwise the tumor will recur more quickly and affect the treatment effect. For some patients with older age, poorer physical condition and smaller tumors (less than 3 cm in diameter), gamma-knife radiation therapy can be used to control tumor growth. 【Tips】 Intracranial tumor is a kind of occupying lesion growing in the skull and should be treated promptly.
