Neuro-oncology, malignant brain tumors, treatment, magnetotherapyAbstract
The purpose of this publication is not to state the fact of the high antitumor effectiveness of the gold standard treatment of malignant brain tumors (surgical intervention with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy), but to consider the possibility of using alternative therapeutic options, in particular, magnetotherapy, as a component of the treatment of patients with this serious pathology, as well as a method of preventing a number of postoperative adverse reactions.
