Dr. Huang Shichang
Meningiomas require early treatment. Early surgical removal is essential, as some meningiomas can grow into brain parenchyma, causing significant damage to brain tissue and leading to irreversible consequences. For meningiomas that cannot be surgically removed, alternative treatments such as gamma knife therapy are needed to shrink the tumor and thereby prolong the patient's life. Additionally, attention should be paid to diet, adequate rest, and enhancing immunity in managing and preventing meningiomas.
