Prognosis for brain tumors
Prognosis (is a chance for recovery) and treatment options of primary brain tumors depend on the following prognostic markers:
- Type and grade of tumor.
- Availability for the surgical removal.
- Remaining cancerous cells after the surgery or their absence.
- Certain possible chromosomal changes.
- Primary or metastatic (secondary) cancer.
- Patient’s general state of health.
Prognosis and treatment options of metastatic brain tumors depend on the following prognostic markers:
- Patient is younger than 60 years old.
- Multiple tumor foci (more than 2).
- Location (brain or spinal cord).
- Tumor’s response to the treatment.
- Primary tumor keeps on growing and metastasizing.
- Prognosis is better for the brain metastases from mammary gland cancer if compared to other primary cancers.
- Prognosis is worse if brain tumor is metastases from colon cancer.
