Glioma Surgery and Its Prognosis

Glioma surgery is a treatment method specifically targeted at patients with glioma, and it is also a relatively effective and common treatment for glioma. When patients undergo glioma surgery, besides worrying about the success rate of the surgery, they also have certain doubts about how long they can survive after the surgery. In fact, the survival time after glioma surgery is closely related to the specific condition of the disease and the patient's physical condition. Below, we will introduce the survival period and other related content after glioma surgery.

1. How long can patients survive after glioma surgery? For low-grade gliomas, which belong to high-grade gliomas, they are the most malignant type of glioma. Generally, the prognosis is determined based on the pathological results after surgery. The prognosis of this type of tumor is poor, and the general survival period is only several weeks or even months. Although active radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical resection cannot completely eliminate the recurrence and progression of the tumor. For high-grade gliomas, also known as low-grade gliomas, they have a relatively low degree of malignancy, but they are still malignant tumors. With active chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the survival period of this type of tumor can range from several months to several years.

2. How to treat glioma? Surgical resection of the tumor is recommended as the first choice. After the surgery, the patient's body function recovers, and radiotherapy is given. For brain glioma, chemotherapy may be used as an option. Drugs such as dexamethasone can be used to inhibit tumor cells. When the symptoms are not obvious, surgical treatment can be considered.

3. Precautions for glioma patients: For glioma, it is important to check for any changes in the specific pathological type and other pathological properties, and actively undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy to prolong the survival period. Generally speaking, glioma is prone to recurrence. If the patient's body function is normal, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy can be considered again.
