What are Malignant Brain Tumors?
Malignant brain tumors are cancerous masses caused by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in different parts of the brain. These tumors usually grow rapidly and tend to spread to surrounding tissues. Malignant brain tumors can be primary (first developing in the brain) or metastatic (spreading to the brain from other organs). Malignant tumors can cause severe neurological symptoms, including headaches, seizures, loss of consciousness, balance problems, visual disturbances and decline in mental function. Such tumors are difficult to treat and often require a combined approach with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

New Vascular Treatment Methods
Significant progress has been made in the treatment of malignant brain tumors in recent years. New vascular therapies for the treatment of brain tumors focus in particular on therapies aimed at blocking the supply of blood to tumors. These therapies aim to prevent the development of blood vessels that are essential for cancer cells to grow. Tumors are nourished as a result of the vascular system (blood vessels) and these vessels support the rapid growth of tumors. By targeting the vasculature of tumors, new vascular therapies aim to slow or stop tumor growth.

How Do New Vascular Treatment Methods Work?
New vascular therapies can be highly innovative and effective in the treatment of brain tumors. These treatment methods are as follows:

1. Anti-angiogenic therapy:
   Anti-angiogenic therapy aims to prevent tumors from forming new blood vessels. Since tumors need to form new blood vessels in order to grow, this treatment prevents the development of blood vessels. The treatment prevents tumors from growing by making them less nourished. This treatment is usually done with medication and helps tumors to shrink.
2. Embolization Method:
   Embolization is a technique used to block blood vessels. Embolization blocks the vessels that provide nutrition to malignant tumors in the brain and prevents the tumors from being fed. This method is an effective treatment option that can be used as an adjunct to surgical intervention or as a stand-alone treatment.
3. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT):
   Photodynamic therapy targets the blood vessels of malignant brain tumors with a special combination of light and drugs. This treatment injects light-sensitive substances into the tumor tissue to damage the tumor’s blood vessels. This process damages the tumor’s blood vessels and stops its growth.
4. Vascular Endothelial Targeted Therapy:
   This treatment targets cells in the lining of the vessels that carry blood to tumors. Using specific molecules, tumor vessels are targeted and the blood vessels that allow tumors to grow are killed. Vascular endothelial targeted therapy is often combined with other treatment methods.

Advantages of New Vascular Treatment Methods

• Blocking the Feeding of Tumors: Targeting blood vessels, blocking the supply of tumors and stopping their growth increases the success of the treatment process.
• Minimally Invasive: These treatment methods are usually minimally invasive, meaning the patient recovers faster and has a lower risk of complications.
• High Efficacy New vascular therapies can be highly effective, especially in advanced malignant brain tumors. The growth of tumors can be slowed, sometimes completely stopped.
• Combination with Other Treatments: Vascular therapy can be combined with other treatment modalities such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy for a stronger effect.
