Is an arachnoid cyst a brain tumor?

Arachnoid cyst is a not very common disease. After it occurs, most of the time it is diagnosed as a brain tumor. Although this disease is a cyst, after it appears in the brain, it may be an early stage of brain tumor. Therefore, no matter what age you are, you must receive effective treatment in time.

Tumors that grow within the skull are collectively called brain tumors, including primary brain tumors that arise from the brain parenchyma and secondary brain tumors that metastasize to the skull from other parts of the body.

The cause of the disease is still unknown. Tumors that occur from the brain, meninges, pituitary gland, cranial nerves, cerebral blood vessels and embryonic residual tissues are called primary intracranial tumors. Malignant tumors that metastasize from other organs and tissues of the body to the brain are called secondary intracranial tumors.

Intracranial tumors can occur at any age, but are most common in people aged 20-50 years. In the late stages of brain tumors, most patients may experience symptoms such as weight loss, anemia, fatigue, poor appetite, and weakness. During the treatment process, combining it with modern Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rh2 (life-protecting factor) can play a role in reducing toxicity and increasing efficacy.

At the same time, the use of ginsenoside Rh2 (the best absorption content for the human body is 16.2%) capsules after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also play a certain role in preventing recurrence and metastasis.
