Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Brain tumors, both benign and malignant, represent a significant health challenge.
  • Treatment outcomes have improved due to advancements in diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI) and microsurgical techniques.
  • Benign brain tumors have seen established therapeutic modalities, while malignant tumors show incremental progress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of brain tumor treatment.
  • To highlight progress in managing benign and malignant brain tumors.
  • To identify future directions for improving patient prognosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging diagnosis techniques (CT, MRI).
  • Evaluation of microsurgical techniques.

  • Assessment of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and adjuvant treatments (e.g., interferon).
  • Consideration of focal radiotherapeutic equipment (Gamma Knife, photon radiosurgery).

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in benign brain tumor treatment through early diagnosis and surgery.
    • Enhanced outcomes for malignant brain tumors with combined therapies like radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
    • Clinical efficacy of focal radiotherapeutic equipment demonstrated.
    • Prognosis for malignant brain tumors remains poor, with limited survival.

    Conclusions:

    • While progress has been made, especially for benign tumors, malignant brain tumors still present a significant challenge.
    • Emerging therapies such as gene therapy and immunotherapy are highly anticipated for future brain tumor treatment.
    • Continued research and development are essential to improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with malignant brain tumors.
