Brain Tumor

What is a Brain Tumor?

A brain tumor is a space-occupying lesion formed by the abnormal proliferation of cells within brain tissue. It may cause symptoms such as headaches, seizures, and limb weakness. Common types of brain tumors include gliomas, metastatic tumors, meningiomas, pituitary tumors, and acoustic neuromas.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Brain Tumors

Diagnostic Methods:

· Imaging Studies: MRI (preferred), CT, PET-CT for precise tumor localization and assessment.
· Pathological Biopsy: Minimally invasive tissue sampling to determine tumor type and grade.

Treatment Plan:

· Surgical Resection
· Radiation Therapy
· Chemotherapy/Targeted Therapy
· Immunotherapy

Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique: Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT)

Why Choose LITT?

For select brain tumor patients, LITT offers a safer and more effective treatment experience:

Minimally Invasive Procedure:

Only a 2-3mm cranial burr hole, avoiding craniotomy trauma and reducing infection risk.

Real-time Precise Control:

Intraoperative MRI-guided navigation with <1mm accuracy, protecting functional brain tissue.

Rapid Recovery:

Average hospital stay ≤48 hours, return to normal life within 1 week after surgery.

Applicable to Complex Cases:

Preferred option for deep tumors (thalamus, brainstem), epilepsy foci, and recurrent tumors.
