NEW METHODS OF TREATMENT OF BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD TUMORS

Abstract

The treatment of brain and spinal cord tumors has evolved significantly in recent years, driven by advancements in surgical techniques, radiotherapy, drug delivery systems, and immunotherapy. Surgical innovations, including minimally invasive procedures, intraoperative imaging, and functional mapping, have improved the precision of tumor resection, minimizing neurological deficits and enhancing patient outcomes. In parallel, advancements in radiotherapy, such as proton beam therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, allow for more targeted radiation delivery, reducing collateral damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
