Today, intracranial lesions originating from the brain itself or caused by the spread of a cancer in another location to the gentleman are diagnosed more easily with the increase in imaging methods. The location of the tumor in the head (for example, if it is close to valuable structures such as the respiratory center of the patient), the size and number of the tumor and whether it is malignant are important factors in terms of the patient’s life span.
With surgery, both the pathological diagnosis of the tumor is aimed and the pressure exerted on the gentleman in the head is tried to be eliminated. Long-term survival can be achieved with chemotherapy/radiotherapy treatments that the patient will receive after surgery. The patient’s age at the time of entering the operation, the burden of his general condition at the time of entering the operation, whether he has any additional disease, the structure of the tumor tissue (for example, tumors with excess blood and bleeding), whether there is a recurrence or not, the drugs he uses are valuable parts that affect the success of the operation.
Although the survival time of many patients increases in today’s conditions with timely interventions, intracranial tumors still cause death and disability.
