There are no specific symptoms by which it would be possible to diagnose glioblastoma without additional examinations. Changes in well-being associated with the growth of a volumetric formation inside the cranium, an increase in intracranial pressure, and the involvement of nerve centers located in the brain in the pathological process come to the fore.
Most often, patients suffer from:
A tumor from glial cells has a number of features that make it difficult to remove: the absence of clear boundaries, rapid growth, and active germination into healthy tissues. All this requires the use of a whole range of measures in order to stop the progression of the disease and bring the patient into stable remission.
Surgery is the first mandatory step in the treatment of glioblastoma. The intervention is performed under general anesthesia. In the postoperative period, radiation therapy and other methods of non-surgical treatment are prescribed.
Brain tumors respond well to radiotherapy. Approximately with the same effect in glioblastoma, gamma- and cyberknife can be used. These are technically complex devices that provide the point directed radiation exposure to tumors located deep in the cranium. The result of such exposure is more sparing in relation to healthy tissues. In this case, the cancer node is destroyed evenly throughout its entire length.
The indication for the appointment of proton therapy is the presence of a radioresistant tumor in the patient, which does not respond to the effects of gamma and x-ray radiation. Also, this method is effective in patients who have already undergone a course of radiotherapy, have reached the maximum allowable dose of radiation, but have not received the expected effect. Proton therapy does not create a radiation load on the body, which significantly expands the range of indications for using the method.
This is a relatively new method of treatment, which is based on the use of drugs that target changes that are characteristic only for cancer cells and are absent in healthy ones. This makes targeted therapy an effective and at the same time gentle method of treating cancer. To correctly select targeted drugs, a genetic study of the tumor tissue obtained during surgery is carried out. The study takes into account about 730 genes, mutations in which can cause the transition of normal cells to tumor growth.
Method involves the creation of a vaccine for activation the body’s own immune system to fight tumor cells. The vaccine can be additionally strengthened by the use of a specific virus that actively infects cancer cells and is absolutely indifferent to healthy ones. Such a bidirectional effect on glioblastoma increases the likelihood of a patient reaching a stable remission.
There are a lot of types of linear accelerators for any type of radiation. You can’t get radiation by itself without an accelerator. If you need to specify this particular brand (Truebeam), then you can enter. If not, then accelerators may not be mentioned at all in this paragraph.
Our domestic statistics on the treatment of glioblastoma of the brain are disappointing. 95% of patients, even despite ongoing treatment, die within the first 2-3 years after diagnosis. Less than 5% of patients overcome the 5-year survival limit. All this is due to the fact that there are difficulties with a full examination in the early stages of the disease. The introduction of promising methods of treatment is several years late compared to the rest of the world.
In foreign clinics, radiation therapy is carried out using modern equipment, which makes it possible to target the tumor. An important role is played by the overall quality of medical services, including nursing a person with a brain tumor in intensive care, the use of modern highly effective drugs, and the latest treatment protocols.
If a malignant brain tumor is identified, with an already confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma, Experts Medical will answer all your questions, will help you get treatment programs from the best neuro-oncologists in Germany, Spain and Turkey.
The IOZK Center (Cologne, Germany) specializes in the immunotherapy of brain tumors and demonstrates excellent results in bringing patients to stable remission. The Children’s Hospital of Sant Joan de Deu (Barcelona, Spain) has a team of professionals in the field of pediatric oncology. At the neuropsychiatric clinic NP BRAIN HOSPITAL (Istanbul, Turkey), surgical removal of brain tumors in adults is carried out at a high technical level, and there is also a very humane and sincere service.
