There is no optimal treatment for brain lymphoma, which is also called central nervous system lymphoma, is a kind of malignant clonal tumor originated in central nervous system, and can be treated by general treatment, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and other methods.
1. General treatment: it refers to hormone and dehydration treatment, which can improve the symptoms of patients in a short time, but often recur in a few weeks or months.
2. Surgical treatment: it can be divided into biopsy surgery of tumor and tumor resection surgery. Due to the infiltrative and multifocal growth of lymphoma, the average survival period of single surgical treatment is only 3-5 months.
3. Radiotherapy: since central nervous system lymphoma is very sensitive to radiotherapy, it is recommended to have radiotherapy two weeks after surgery, such as whole brain and spinal cord irradiation, and pay attention to the side effects in the process of radiotherapy.
4. Chemotherapy: using suitable chemotherapy drugs can slow down the growth of lymphoma, reduce the symptoms and prolong the life of patients. It is necessary to pay attention to the selection of drugs that can cross the blood-brain barrier, and chemotherapy has certain side effects, which should be carried out under the instruction of doctor.
Therefore, patients with brain lymphoma should go to regular large-scale hospitals as soon as possible, and actively cooperate with doctors to choose appropriate methods for treatment.
