Understanding Brain Tumor
Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells within the brain or skull. They can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign) and can affect various functions depending on their location. Primary brain tumors originate in the brain, while secondary brain tumors spread from other parts of the body. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving neurosurgeons, oncologists, and radiation therapists to provide comprehensive treatment.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- MRI Scanning: Detailed imaging of brain structures.
- CT Scanning: Rapid assessment of tumor characteristics.
- Biopsy: Tissue sampling for definitive diagnosis.
- PET Scanning: Assessing metabolic activity of tumors.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support recovery and manage side effects.
- Surgical Removal: Minimally invasive techniques when possible.
- Radiation Therapy: Precise targeting of tumor cells.
- Chemotherapy: Targeted drug therapy.
- Integrative TCM: Herbal formulas to support healing.
