When it comes to tumors, I believe many people will feel disgusted and afraid, and cranial tumors are stamped as the “terminal disease of terminal diseases” by many people. In fact, cranial tumors are not as terrible and incurable as people think, but rational understanding and scientific treatment at early stage of detection can have a positive impact on the prognosis of cranial tumors. Rational understanding of brain tumor Brain tumor is a tumor growing in the skull, which is divided into original and later occurrence. Primary brain tumor occurs in brain tissue and its appendages inside the skull; secondary brain tumor is a metastatic tumor formed by the metastasis or invasion of other parts of the body. They can also be divided into benign and malignant, but since the space in the cranial cavity does not allow expansion, whatever kind of tumor can directly cause local damage to brain tissue, affect cerebral blood circulation, block cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathways, cause intracranial fluid accumulation or cerebral edema, to the point of brain herniation, which threatens patients’ lives. Therefore, regardless of what kind of tumor in the skull, early diagnosis and early treatment are most important. Small signs indicate big problems Some people find brain tumors in the middle and late stages and miss the best time for treatment. In this regard, Director Zhang said, in fact, there are signs and symptoms of cranial tumor, but they are often ignored by people. Brain is a very complex and important organ, and the signs and symptoms of brain tumor vary from patient to patient, which is related to the size, nature and location of the tumor. Here are some signs and symptoms of early brain tumor attack: headache: it is more severe in nature, often occurs in early morning, sometimes waking up in sleep, but the headache will gradually relieve or disappear after getting up and light activity; vomiting: due to the increase of intracranial pressure, the vagus nerve center is stimulated, thus vomiting occurs, vomiting mostly occurs after headache, in the form of spray; vision loss: the increase of intracranial pressure will make the eye The tumor located in the frontal lobe of the brain can disrupt the mental activity of the frontal lobe, causing mental abnormalities such as excitement, agitation, depression, repression, amnesia, fictitiousness, etc.; seizures; abnormalities of sensation and movement of one or unilateral limb: the parietal lobe located in the middle of the cerebral hemisphere is specialized in sensation, and the tumor in this area often causes unilateral limb pain. Phantom smell: tumors in the temporal lobe can cause phantom smell under the stimulation of the tumor, i.e., smelling an odor that does not exist, such as burnt rice or burnt rubber; hemiplegia or drunken gait: lesions in the cerebellum are more specific, i.e., patients often have hemiplegia or staggering drunken gait after headache, vomiting and visual impairment; tinnitus and deafness: these are mostly detected when talking on the phone. This is a precursor to auditory neuroma; gigantism or dwarfism: gigantism is most often seen in pituitary tumors and is characterized by rapid growth and acromegaly (large chin, large nose, enlarged lips and tongue, and abnormally large hands and feet). Dwarfism is common in craniopharyngioma, which manifests clinically as a 15- or 16-year-old who is only 5 or 6 years old, with undeveloped sexual characteristics and a belly full of fat. We suggest that people with the above signs and symptoms should go to a specialized hospital for early diagnosis and systematic examination, so that the best control of the disease can be achieved through active treatment with clear causes. The cranial tumor is a direct threat to the health and life of patients, but some of the brain tumors can be cured. After early detection and correct, scientific and effective treatment, patients can control and eliminate the tumor as soon as possible. Director Zhang said that with the gradual improvement of medical level, conventional treatment is no longer single, and patients can choose the treatment according to their specific conditions. Surgery: Surgery is one of the main methods to treat brain tumor. Most benign brain tumors can be cured by surgery. For benign brain tumors that cannot be completely removed, radiation therapy can also be used to achieve a curative effect. For relatively small or limited malignant brain tumors, they can be completely removed. When the tumor cannot be completely removed, maximum removal of tumor load and biopsy can also be achieved to create conditions for further comprehensive treatment. If necessary, surgery can also be performed to lower the cranial pressure and reduce pain. Radiotherapy: It is applicable to the post-surgical treatment of brain metastases and various primary brain tumors, such as glioma, germ cell tumor, pituitary adenoma and chordoma. For tumors that cannot be completely removed by surgery, post-surgery supplemented with radiation therapy can delay tumor recurrence. For tumors that are sensitive to radiation, radiation therapy can be preferred when surgery is difficult. Chemotherapy: For infiltrating glioblastoma and intracranial metastases that cannot be completely removed, chemotherapy can be used to improve the efficacy of surgery and radiation therapy, prevent tumor recurrence and reduce headache. Chemotherapy can also be tried in recurrent benign intracranial tumors with headache. For tumors in the deeper parts of the brain that cannot be removed and tumors that are not sensitive to radiation, chemotherapy alone can be used. The above three are the common treatment methods for brain tumors. The treatment is based on the specific situation of the tumor. The patient should also go to regular professional hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment for specific conditions.
