What are the benefits of Gamma Knife treatment for meningioma? Meningioma is a type of intracranial tumor, and its incidence is second only to glioma. Common treatments for meningioma include surgery, radiation therapy, and herbal medicine. Gamma Knife treatment is a form of radiation therapy for meningioma. What are the advantages of Gamma Knife treatment for meningioma? Of course, not all patients can choose Gamma Knife treatment. Gamma knife treatment for meningioma is suitable for those with surgical residuals, or surgical recurrence, for those with meningioma ≤ 30mm in diameter in any location, or for patients with meningioma who are not suitable for surgery. It is necessary to emphasize that meningioma patients with significant functional deficits due to the formation of tumor occupancy effect should immediately consider surgery and should not prefer gamma knife treatment. On the contrary, those without occupancy effect and tumor diameter ≤ 30 mm can be preferred to gamma knife treatment. Gamma knife treatment for meningioma can control tumor growth, prevent neurological dysfunction due to tumor growth, and neurological irritation symptoms (epilepsy). Gamma knife treatment of meningiomas is relatively safe and has a low incidence of morbidity. In response to the toxic side effects of Gamma Knife treatment, timely combination of Chinese herbal treatment to nourish Yin and clear heat, benefit Qi and blood can greatly reduce the side effects, enhance the therapeutic effect, ensure the effect of Gamma Knife treatment and prolong the survival of patients.
