What medicine is good for glioma

Glioma is a common tumor in the human body structure. It has a great impact on people's physical health and sometimes even mutates into cancer. I believe many people know that when a person develops a tumor, it is usually controlled by medication, and surgery is only used for treatment as a last resort. So when you find that you have a tumor like the traffic police, what medicine should you take to control and solve it?

1. What medicine is good for glioma?

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors arising from the cancerous transformation of glial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Like other tumors (diseases), glioma is caused by the interaction of innate genetic high-risk factors and environmental carcinogenic factors. Chemotherapy and targeted therapy have gradually played an important role in the treatment of gliomas. For high-grade gliomas, the use of temozolomide can significantly prolong the patient's survival prognosis. Currently, temozolomide is the only chemotherapy drug with clear efficacy in the treatment of glioma. For patients with newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas, temozolomide should be taken alone for a period of time (6-12 cycles) after being used simultaneously with radiotherapy (concurrent chemoradiotherapy stage).

2. Treatment of glioma

1. Drug treatment. General medicines, including chemotherapy drugs, don't work. It has strong resistance to conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This is due to the blocking and filtration of the blood-brain barrier, and secondly, it is determined by the characteristics of glioma. Therefore, chemotherapy drugs are controversial in the treatment of brain tumors. Many doctors do not advocate chemotherapy, believing that the effects are too slight and the side effects are too great, making the benefits not worth the cost.

2. Radiotherapy. There are many types of radiotherapy, such as CyberKnife, Gamma Knife, Proton Knife, etc. However, only "medulloblastoma" is highly sensitive to radiotherapy, and "ependymoma" is moderately sensitive. Other brain tumors are not sensitive to radiotherapy.

3. Surgery. It is obvious that, first, surgery can only be a temporary solution, and the tumor will relapse afterwards, with the characteristics of "leek-like" regeneration and proliferation; second, gliomas often grow in the brain in a crab claw-like invasive manner, with no clear boundary with normal brain tissue, making it difficult to completely cut it out during surgery, making surgery inconvenient; third, simple surgical resection will stimulate and accelerate the tumor's growth rate and degree of malignancy.
