Strictly speaking, glioma is only malignant, there is no such thing as benign glioma. It can only be said that certain low-grade gliomas are benign and have relatively good prognosis, while high-grade gliomas have relatively poor prognosis.
1. Low-grade glioma: low-grade glioma is treated by surgical resection, and with postoperative radiotherapy after surgery, usually the prognosis is relatively good, and there is even a possibility of cure.
2. High-grade glioma: it is usually difficult to achieve the effect of cure, even with surgical resection and radiotherapy, there is a great possibility that the tumor will recur in a short period of time, so it is necessary to conduct regular postoperative checkups in order to observe the condition of recovery and to monitor whether the tumor recurs or not.
Once glioma is detected, it should be promptly consulted and actively treated under the doctor’s guidance, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
