Patient's question:
In 2008, Sanpeng was diagnosed with lung cancer, and at that time, it had already metastasized to the brain. He underwent an open-heart surgery on his lungs. The head received gamma knife treatment and radiotherapy, but it was not controlled. Now, there are two places in the head: one controlled by the gamma knife and the other not controlled by radiotherapy, measuring 2 cm in size.Doctor's answer:
Patient: Middle-aged male. Main complaint: Side effects of argon-helium knife in destroying a tumor in the head.Advice: Hello, first of all, it is important to note that any medical treatment carries risks, and the argon-helium knife is no exception. However, compared to traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, which are highly invasive and have significant side effects, the argon-helium knife offers a less invasive and less toxic alternative. Based on the patient's condition, the argon-helium knife is a suitable treatment option. Thank you, and wishing you good health.
