Theme is "Every second is worth protecting" - China's first anniversary health charity event for the establishment of the home for caring for patients with brain glioma was recently held at the Baopu Art Museum in Shanghai. 30 groups of patients and families of brain glioma from , Yangtze River Delta, participated in this sharing session. The event encouraged patients of brain glioma to face the disease bravely, establish confidence in anti-cancer for active treatment, and enjoy a better life.
Brain glioma originates from brain glial cells and is the most common primary intracranial tumor. The degree of malignancy is divided into grades I-IV. , Shanghai Changhai Hospital, , Professor Chen Juxiang of Neurosurgery, introduced that glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant grade IV brain glioma, accounting for 56% of all gliomas. According to statistics, there are more than 45,000 new cases of glioblastoma in my country every year, with a recurrence rate of 100%, and a five-year survival rate of 4.7%, which is only 1/3 of lung cancer. It is considered to be one of the most difficult and refractory tumors in neurosurgery treatment. Therefore, every second is cherished by patients and their families, and a positive and optimistic treatment mentality is the key to help fight cancer. Innovative treatment methods in the field of glioma are becoming more and more abundant, and patients and their families must have full confidence in living longer, insist on treatment, and never give up easily.
With the continuous innovation and development of medical technology, more and more patients have survived for a long time and maintained a good quality of life, which has brought new hope to many patients and their families. Professor Wang Yang of the Radiotherapy Center of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University said that "surgery + chemotherapy + tumor electric field treatment" has become the latest comprehensive treatment model. The acceptance of tumor electric field treatment in the glioma patient population is getting higher and higher. The tumor electric field treatment combined with chemotherapy, and the family actively cooperates. Patients wear it for more than 20 hours a day, which can increase the five-year survival rate from less than 5% to nearly 30%. In addition to the skin at the contact area of the head electrode, there are few systemic side reactions and adverse effects. Just strengthen skin cleaning and care, and skin adverse reactions are reversible. With the popularization of "Shanghai Huibao", more patients can enjoy advanced treatment technologies that are synchronized with the international community. I believe that brain gliomas can gradually enter the era of chronic diseases.
