Can grade II or higher frontal lobe gliomas be cured?

Grade II and higher frontal lobe gliomas are generally difficult to cure completely, but active treatment may help improve quality of life. If any abnormalities occur, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:

Although Grade II frontal lobe gliomas are less malignant compared to high-grade gliomas, they still carry a high risk of recurrence. Even with complete surgical removal, residual tumor cells may remain due to the infiltrative and proliferative nature of the tumor cells, potentially leading to tumor recurrence. Additionally, even with comprehensive treatment approaches such as post-operative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, these treatments can only prolong survival to a certain extent and improve quality of life, but complete cure remains difficult.

For higher-grade frontal lobe gliomas such as Grade III and Grade IV, the malignancy is greater, with stronger proliferation and invasion capabilities of tumor cells, and metastasis is more likely to occur. Treatment of these tumors is more challenging, with a lower possibility of complete surgical resection. Even with surgery and comprehensive treatment, prognosis is often poor, and the likelihood of cure is even lower.

Although complete cure is challenging, through active treatment and care, patients can extend their survival duration and improve their quality of life. During treatment, patients should maintain a positive mindset, cooperate with the treatment plan provided by their physicians, and enhance their immune system through healthy lifestyle habits and a positive mental attitude to improve treatment outcomes.
