How long can you live after surgery for early stage brain cancer

Brain tumors, also known as intracranial tumors, are the most common diseases in neurosurgery. They include primary brain tumors originating from the brain, and secondary brain tumors that originate from the metastasis of malignant tumors in other parts of the body or the invasion of tumors in adjacent tissues. Men are slightly more likely to develop the disease than women. It can occur at any age, but most people are between 20 and 50 years old.

In recent years, its incidence rate has shown an upward trend. Among the incidence rates of systemic tumors, brain tumors rank fifth after lung cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, and uterine cancer. However, because many people do not understand the early symptoms of brain tumors, they often miss the best time for treatment. Glioma is the type of brain cancer with the highest incidence rate. It originates from glial cells, which are supportive tissues in brain tissue, such as astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, ependymomas, etc. The incidence rate in the population is one in ten thousand, but this tumor particularly prefers young and middle-aged people. The two age groups of 10-20 years old and 40-50 years old are the peak incidence periods of this disease, and the average survival period of malignant gliomas is only 8 months. How long can you live after early brain cancer surgery?

For patients with early brain cancer, it mainly depends on whether appropriate treatment is taken in time. Generally speaking, early brain cancer tumors are small and have not spread or metastasized. The most effective treatment is surgical resection. The 5-year survival rate after early brain cancer resection can reach 60%-90%. After surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other treatments can be taken within a certain period of time to prevent recurrence.

The survival time of patients with early-stage brain cancer mainly depends on the patient's physical condition and treatment. Another important factor affecting how long a patient can survive in the early stages of brain cancer is the care the patient receives after treatment.

In my country, the number of women suffering from brain cancer has surpassed breast cancer, ranking first among malignant tumors, so women must pay attention to this issue. Actively go to a regular hospital for treatment, take good care of yourself in daily life, and get well soon!

For people with a high risk of brain cancer, prevention is very necessary. After the age of 40, it is best to have a physical examination 1-2 times a year, which can help detect early brain cancer. For those who have the conditions, you can also check pET-CT, which has a higher accuracy rate in screening early brain cancer.
