How long can you live after surgery for a brain tumor?
Hello! First of all, thank you for your concern and trust in Shanghai Blue Cross Brain Hospital! Although the incidence of brain tumor has increased in recent years, with the continuous development and application of microsurgery, the survival rate of brain tumor patients has been greatly improved. For the treatment of brain tumors, the vast majority of brain tumors are treated by surgical resection. How long can one live after brain tumor surgery depends on the pathological classification of the brain tumor, the physical condition of the brain tumor patient, the surgical method of the brain tumor, and the level of the surgeon who performs the brain tumor surgery. These combined factors determine how long a brain tumor patient can live after surgery. Can brain tumor be cured? Generally, benign brain tumors will not recur after total resection and can survive as normal people; if benign brain tumors cannot be completely resected, the treatment effect can be consolidated by combining with radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery, and the survival period of some cases can be more than ten years. The survival time of malignant brain tumor patients after surgery can be long or short, depending on pathological grading and surgical methods. The above is the answer to your question, and I hope it will be helpful to you. Without knowing your specific condition, it is not easy to judge your survival time. If it is convenient, we suggest you to come to our hospital for an interview, or upload your examination to our experts. The specialists will make a suitable treatment plan according to your actual situation and evaluate your condition and the degree of postoperative recovery.
