Brain Tumor Treatment – Chemotherapy
Jan C. Buckner, M.D., Maciej M. Mrugala, M.D., Ph.D., and Joon H. Uhm, M.D., from Mayo Clinic's Department of Neurology, provide an overview of chemotherapy for the treatment of brain cancer.
More than 200 chemotherapy drugs are designed to work on specific types of brain tumors. These drugs damage a tumor's DNA so that it stops dividing and growing.
Chemotherapies are frequently used for malignant brain tumors, mostly primary brain tumors. They are provided in various forms, including orally through a pill.
Cutting-edge chemotherapies for brain tumor treatment will hopefully be more selective in their targeting abilities.
Chemotherapy is one of a suite of treatment options that may be used to treat brain tumors. Visit https://mayocl.in/2m7jlnG to request an appointment or learn more about brain tumor treatment at Mayo Clinic.
