Treatment for Brain Tumour

The treatment of human brain tumors rarely. By type and stage of cancer, patients can be treated with surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Some patients receiving combination therapy.

No version "at any stage of disease, patients may receive treatment to control pain and other symptoms of cancer, reduce the side effects of treatment, and any emotional problems. Thats kind of treatment is called symptom management, supportive care, or palliative treatment.

Doctor is the best person to describe treatment options and discuss the expected results.

Patient may want to talk about the doctors involved in clinical trials, it is a study, to learn a new way of treatment. The Department of "commitment to research Zell" for more information about clinical tryals.

Surgery is the most common treatment for brain tumors. Surgery to open the skull is known as kranyotomi. This is done under general anesthesia. Before the surgery began, the scalp shaved.Then the surgeon makes an pitche open and use a special kind of discovery, removal of a skull bone. Removal of some or all of the tumor, the surgeon James's opening in the skull bone plates or a metal or cloth. Surgeon and then close the incision in the scalp.
Radiotherapy

Radiation therapy (also known as radyotherapi) using high - high-energy rays to kill tumor cells.Radiation can be from X - rays, gamma rays, or protons. A huge machine Ames Radiation Oncology and organizations close to it. When it direkted of radiation in the brain or spinal cord.

Radiation therapy usually follows surgery. Of radiation to kill cancer cells can remain in place. In the past, patients did not have radiation therapy instead of surgery.

Patients in hospital or clinic for radiation therapy. The plan of treatment depends on the type and size of tumor and age of the patient. Each treatment lasted just minutes.

Doctor to make the step to protect surrounding healthy tissue tumors of the brain:

Fraktyonatyon - radyatyon usually to determine the treatment five days a week for several weeks. To provide a total dose of radiation over an extended time by half, to protect healthy tissue tumors in the region.

Hiperfraktyonatyon - Davis radiation small idol of patients two or three times a day, rather than a larger amount of time.

Stereotaktik radiotherapy - a narrow-beam radiation direkted lungs from different angles.Technique, patients wear the top of the strict structure. A wrong card or scan images to create the exact location of the tumor. Doctors use a computer to determine the necessary dose of radiation, as well as south and the angle of radiation beam. During the treatment, we can identify a single visit, or a few visits.

3 - Three-dimensional radiation therapy konformal - a computer creates a 3 - three-dimensional images, lungs and surrounding brain tissue. A type of medical purpose of the exact shape of the beam of radiation oncology. To accurately focus radiation beams defensive in normal brain tissue.

Proton beam radiation therapy - the source of the proton radiation, instead of X - ray. Dr. Ames proton beam cancer. Protons through healthy tissue without compromising it.
Tshemotherapi

Tshemotherapi, using drugs to kill cancer cells, is sometimes used to treat brain tumors. Drugs will decide either orally or through the injection. Either way, the drugs enter the blood circulation and the passage of the body. The drug is usually to return to the moon is as follows for each hour of treatment.

Tshemotherapi may determine the out-patient of the hospital, doctor's office or home. Rareli, patients may need to stay in hospital.

Children more likely than adults to chemotherapy. However, the elderly can have post-operative chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

For some patients with brain cancer, surgeons remove some chip implanted and tumors containing chemotherapy. Each woman is about the size of a dime. In the past few weeks, the chip is dissolved, the release of drugs to the brain. The drug can kill cancer cells.
