Patient's question:
At the beginning of the year, a friend was carefully examined and found to have a brain tumor. The doctor recommended that he undergo surgery. Then, he understood the doctor's advice and had the surgery last week. However, after the surgery, he has had a fever ever since. Why has he been feverish after the brain tumor surgery?Doctor's answer:
After having brain tumor surgery, I've been having a fever. It's possible that it's due to postoperative infection, but it can't be ruled out that cancer cells may have spread. Incomplete surgery or improper surgical techniques can easily lead to problems again. If the fever persists, it's necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough review to identify the cause of the fever. If it's due to infection, additional measures need to be taken. If cancer cells have spread, further radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be required to slow down the spread of cancer cells as much as possible.
