Kazakh neurosurgeons introduce new methods for treating brain tumors.
The Presidential Administration Medical Center Hospital uses minimally invasive technology to treat meningioma - a tumor of the brain's membranes.
The embolization method makes it possible to cut off the blood supply to the tumor through a small puncture in the femoral artery. In an international study involving Kazakh experts, the median decrease in tumor volume after one year was almost 82%.
"We note that CT and MRI show a decrease until the tumor disappears," said neurosurgeon Islambek Musavkov.
