Recurrence of brain tumor prognosis
Why does a brain tumor recur? All patients need to know the prognosis of treatment in such cases. The success of treating a brain tumor, and indeed any disease, is the timely detection of the disease. Israel has advanced technologies and equipment in this area. Equipment in Israeli clinics makes it possible to diagnose a tumor, identify blood flow paths, and also indicate interaction with other areas of the brain. There are many types of tumors, and in order to prescribe treatment, you need to know exactly what type of tumor has arisen.
Treatments that are successful with one type may not have the expected results in other cases. Formations can be malignant or benign. There are tumors that can be successfully treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. In other cases, only surgical intervention can help; in other cases, when the formation has metastases, the surgeon’s knife may be powerless. Tumors that grow quickly tend to recur most frequently.
Their location in the human brain can also affect the re-formation of tumors. There are places so difficult to reach that during surgery it is not possible to remove the area with a supply of healthy tissue, which undoubtedly affects the quality of treatment and increases the risk of recurrent disease.
Irradiation will not give an absolute result, since healthy cells are sensitive to gamma rays.
Left frontal temporal astrocytoma
According to statistics, from five to seven people out of one hundred thousand suffer from this type of illness. The bulk falls on the adult population aged from twenty to forty-five years. The tumor develops from astrocytes, which are designed to support and protect neurons from harmful substances. In some cases, the size of cancerous formations can be from five to ten centimeters in diameter. The disease develops slowly, so treatment can be, in most cases, successful.
The causes of cancer can be different:
- Bad ecology.
- Genetic diseases.
- Alcohol and tobacco smoking.
- Radiation.
- Heredity.
- Weak immunity.
- Head injuries.
Although this is not a 100% indicator, the presence of the above factors increases the risk of the disease.
