Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I felt various discomforts in my body. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was told that it was a tumor disease. I was very worried about how long I could live. Can you please tell me how to effectively eliminate an extracranial glioma?Doctor's answer:
Glioma is a malignant tumor of the brain, and after careful examination and diagnosis, the essential treatment method is surgical resection. If the patient's current physical condition is good and there is no recurrence of tendency to diverge, the tumor can be removed through surgery. After the surgery, a pathological examination must be performed to confirm its nature. Once the examination is clear, radiotherapy and drugs such as temozolomide can be used, while immunohistochemical examination can also be conducted to understand how targeted drug treatment can be applied.
