Treatment of malignant gliomas of the brain

Abstract

Brain tumors make up from 6 to 8.6% of the total number of human neoplasms. The purpose of our work was to study the results of treatment of malignant gliomas of the brain using radiation therapy - Cyber-knife. Cyber-knife is a modern non-invasive radiation therapy technology that provides an alternative to surgical intervention in the localization of gliomas in the median regions of the brain. Despite the fact that the very name of the method may be associated with a scalpel and traditional surgery, this method refers to radiation therapy, that is, it consists in the use of radiation to destroy tumors. At the same time, there are no incisions, scars and complications associated with surgical intervention. The aim of the study. To study the results of different methods of treatment of brain glioma.
