Treatment of the disease

The procedure involves the use of anticancer drugs intravenously or in the form of tablets. Chemotherapeutic drugs enter the bloodstream and reach almost all areas of the body. However, many chemotherapeutic drugs are unable to reach the brain. In some brain tumors, the drugs are injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid or the cerebrospinal canal below the spinal cord. To do this, it is necessary to install a catheter in the ventricle of the brain, for which a small operation is carried out to deliver the drug directly to the brain or spinal cord.

Usually, chemotherapy is used for a higher class of tumors. Some types of brain tumors, such as medulloblastoma, tend to be well amenable to chemotherapy. In children under 3 years old, chemotherapy can be used instead of radiation therapy.

Primary-type brain cancer is treated with chemotherapy. In general, it is not used as the main and main method of treatment. The goal of drug therapy is to reduce the tumor and control its growth. Chemotherapeutic agents have an effect combined with surgical tumor removal and radiotherapy. Hormonal drugs such as tamoxifen may be used with chemotherapeutic drugs.
