Pode ser utilizada isoladamente naqueles tumores em estágios avançados, sem possibilidade de cura.By providing the information requested, I am giving SpringWorks Therapeutics permission to store and use the information that I have provided. É utilizada junto com a cirurgia ou radioterapia para auxiliar no tratamento dos tumores malignos cerebrais. Por ser um tratamento sistêmico, atinge também as células sadias do organismo (por isso tanto efeitos colaterais são vistos). Usa drogas que matam as células tumorais. É aplicada em diferentes situações: após a cirurgia para destruir as células cancerígenas que sobraram da cirurgia como tratamento principal (quando não é possível operar) ou para aliviar sintomas da doença. O material do tumor retirado é utilizado para estabelecer o diagnóstico (biópsia) e guiar a terapia complementar.įeixes de alta energia ionizante são utilizados para destruir ou inibir o crescimento das células anormais que formam o tumor (raios x, raios gama ou prótons). Quando não é possível a ressecção total, afim de não lesionar áreas nobres do cérebro, terapia adjuvante é necessária (radioterapia, p.ex.) Objetivo de remover o tumor sem causar dano neurológico (opções diversas são utilizadas para guiar o cirurgião sem afetar áreas cerebrais funcionais, como Ressonância funcional, Neuronavegador, estereotaxia, monitorização intra-operatória, craniotomia com paciente acordado etc). It can be used separately in cases of tumors in advanced stages, with the chances of a cure are decreased. It is used in conjunction with surgery or radiation therapy to help in the treatment of malignant brain tumors. As it is a systemic treatment, it also affects the body’s healthy cells (the reason why there are so many side effects). It is used in different situations: after surgery, to destroy cancer cells that hat may remain after surgery as the main treatment (when surgery is not possible) or to relieve the symptoms of the disease. Uses high-energy beams to destroy or inhibit the growth of abnormal cells that form the tumor (x-rays, gamma rays or protons). The tissue from the removed tumor material is sent to the laboratory for analysis (biopsy) to make the diagnosis and determine the complementary therapy. When total resection is not possible, in order not to damage important areas of the brain, adjuvant therapy is required (e.g. Has the objective of removing the tumor without causing neurological damage (several options are used to guide the surgeon without affecting functional brain areas, such as functional resonance, Neuronavigator, stereotaxis, intraoperative monitoring, awake craniotomy, etc). ✔ Mental confusion (advanced stages of progressive growth and larger tumors). ✔ Blurred vision or visual loss (it is important to note that this is NOT a refraction disorder – when the problem is corrected by wearing glasses) ✔ Frequent progressive headaches that do not improve with the use of analgesics Symptoms depend on the size, location and growth of the tumor.īoth an intra-axial (inside the brain) and extra-axial tumor (around the brain, but inside the skull) may compromise the brain functions and present with: Symptoms first appear as headaches and seizures, caused by increased pressure of the growing tumor. They are usually benign (not cancer) and are more often found in middle-aged women. MENINGIOMA: tumor that grows from the meninges (protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord). Beware: gliomas do not arise from neurons! The symptoms of glioma vary by tumor’s location, and it can compromise brain functions. They begin in the gluey supportive cells (glial cells) that surround nerve cells. GLIOMA: type of tumor that occurs in the brain and spinal cord. There are different types of brain tumors, depending what cells it develops from. Secondary brain tumor or metastasis refers to cancer that begins elsewhere in the body spreads, reaching the brain, where it forms a tumor. A primary brain tumor is a mass or an abnormal cell growth, arising from in brain cells or the structures around it.
