Brachytherapy is used to destroy cancer cells from an internal source of radiation.  Brachytherapy uses a radioactive source, referred to as a “seed.”  Interstitial brachytherapy involves implanting radioactive seeds into or near a cancer tumor.  The seeds may be left in place permanently or temporarily.  Radiation from internally placed radioactive seeds disrupts the growth of cancer cells.  Brachytherapy spares as many healthy cells as possible because it directs radiation to only a specific area.

Chemotherapy is another method for treating brain tumors.  Chemotherapy uses special medications to kill tumor cells.  Chemotherapy is a primary treatment for children with brain tumors to delay radiation treatments.  In adults, chemotherapy may be used as an adjunct to other therapies.  It is also used to help treat recurrent brain tumors.

Chemotherapy may be delivered in several different ways.  Most chemotherapy is given by injection.  Implanted pumps or catheters may be used to deliver a continuous dose.  After a brain tumor is removed, polymer wafer implants may be placed in the cavity to deliver chemotherapy.  The wafers eventually dissolve.

Biological therapies are used to change the biological behavior of a cell or the biological environment that a cell is in to make it difficult for tumor cells to grow.  There are a variety of biological therapies that act in different ways.  Some of the ways that biological therapies work are to enhance the immune system, block signals that promote tumor growth, or block the changes that take place in healthy cells that make them cancerous.  Gene therapy is used to help repair or replace abnormal genes that cause cancer tumors.

The effects of a brain tumor may be temporary or permanent.  Brain tumors can result in functional impairments or disability.  Some people participate in rehabilitation therapies after experiencing a brain tumor to regain skills and improve their functional independence.  Rehabilitation should be provided by a facility with the special skills and expertise to treat people with brain injuries.

The experience of a brain tumor, brain injury, cancer, and treatments may be a very emotional experience for you and your loved ones.  It is important to embrace positive sources of support.  Some people find comfort in their families, friends, co-workers, counselors, and faith.  Cancer support groups are a helpful resource where you can receive support, information, and understanding from people with similar experiences.  Ask your doctor for support groups near you.
