How long does it take to check for brain cancer

How long does it take to detect brain cancer?

Intracranial malignant tumors can generally be detected by MRI. MRI has a higher resolution in tumor diagnosis than CT. Malignant tumors tend to grow faster and should be treated promptly in the early stages after discovery.

Brain tumors are difficult to detect in their early stages if CT scans are not performed routinely every year. Many people have no clinical symptoms in the early stages of brain tumors. When frequent headaches, difficulty with medication, or disorientation occur, neurological symptoms should be detected by CT or MRI. Intracranial malignant tumors mainly include gliomas, malignant meningiomas, and malignant brain tumor metastases. CT or MRI examinations should be performed promptly in the early stages after injury.

What is a brain tumor?

The cranial cavity is a closed cavity surrounded by bone tissue. So-called brain tumors occur in the cranial cavity. Whether benign or malignant, they will compress nerve tissue and brain tissue to a certain extent, produce special adverse symptoms, and thus lead to increased intracranial pressure, which will eventually lead to adverse consequences.

Intracranial tumors, whether benign or malignant, should be detected and treated early. Brain tumors refer to tumors that occur in the brain cavity, which are professionally divided into intracranial tumors and extracranial tumors.

There are many classification methods according to the different sources of tumors, but the incidence of brain tumors is not very high, accounting for 2% of all tumor diseases in the body. Brain cancer mainly refers to malignant tumors, mainly including gliomas, malignant meningiomas, germ cell tumors and intracranial metastases.
