Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Symptoms of tumor compression on nerves may include pain, vision loss, impaired limb movement, and urinary or bowel dysfunction. When these symptoms occur, timely treatment is necessary, and it is recommended to seek medical care at a hospital as soon as possible. Currently, the most common method for treating tumors is surgery, although radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or interventional therapies may also be required as adjunctive treatments. During treatment, it is important to actively cooperate with the doctor and strictly follow medical instructions.
