Symptoms of brain tumors in children include headache and vomiting. The treatment of intracranial tumors in children should primarily focus on early surgical removal, combined with comprehensive therapies such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate clinical symptoms and improve the child's quality of life. Some tumors can be completely removed, while others can only be partially resected; for certain tumors, it is necessary to first determine the tumor's pathological characteristics before proceeding with radiotherapy.
