Astrocytoma treatment

Astrocytoma combines several types of tumors that arise in the brain from stellate cells (astrocytes) and is part of a group of tumors called gliomas.

The causes of astrocytoma are not exactly known.

The symptoms of this tumor can resemble completely different diseases and may occasionally have these non-specific manifestations:

  • nausea and vomiting;
  • behavioral and mental changes;
  • trouble concentrating;
  • memory impairment.

More specific symptoms will depend on the location of the tumor in the brain. For example, if the tumor is in the temporal lobe, there are problems with speech and coordination, and if it is in the occipital area, there are problems with vision and even hallucinations.

Astrocytoma can be diagnosed using specialized tests:

  • magnetic resonance imaging;
  • computer tomography;
  • angiogram, which is an X-ray of the blood vessels;
  • biopsy – an analysis that provides all the necessary information about the nature of the tumor.

There is no single standard for determining how successful astrocytoma treatment will be in a particular case. However, the following factors can be identified as influencing the success of treatment:

  • the current size of the tumor;
  • the rate of growth;
  • localization;
  • the age of the patient;
  • the types of treatment that have already been used.

The types of astrocytoma treatment must be properly balanced, so it is important to work on an individualized treatment program. Surgery (removal of astrocytoma) is the most crucial stage of brain astrocytoma treatment, so an experienced neurosurgeon and proper equipment are essential. All this is available in foreign clinics, to which you can get with the help of MedTour team.

My mom had a mastectomy at the Samsung medical center. We were very worried, but everything went well. MedTour helped us get to the clinic and hired a transfer. The clinic is of a high class, my mother was pleased with the treatment, the conditions of the ward and the service.

I had prostate cancer and I decided to have a surgerv in Medipol clinic. I have heard about it from my friends to did the same surgery here. I was amazed about modern technology in this hospital! Doctors and nurses are super polite and educated. Everyone speaks english and is ready to help in every situation. My turkish surgeon was the best doctor, which I have ever met in my life. Results of the surgery are estounishing. I feel myself great and I am very thankful to MedTour for organizing my medical trip!
