Uburyo bwo gupima busanzwe bugira ibi bice:

1. Amateka y’ubuzima arambuye n’isesengura ry’ubwonko
2. Isuzuma rya MRI hamwe n’amabara yerekana ibice bidasanzwe
3. Rimwe na rimwe isesengura rya CT niba MRI idahari cyangwa idakwiriye
4. Gake cyane, gufata igice cy’ubwonko niba gupima bitaracika
5. Ibizamini byongeyeho kugira ngo bimenye cyangwa gukurikirana kanseri y’ukuri

MRI hamwe n’amabara ni yo nzira nziza kuko ishobora kubona n’utundi tumyemezo duto tudashobora kugaragara mu bindi bizamini. Amabara afasha kwerekana ibice aho uruzitiro rw’amaraso mu bwonko rwangiritse kubera gukura kw’indwara.

Akenshi, niba ufite amateka azwi ya kanseri kandi MRI igaragaza ibintu bisanzwe, muganga wawe ashobora kumenya eseme ry’uburibwe bw’umutwe adakeneye gufata igice cy’ubwonko. Gufata igice cy’ubwonko bikunze gukorwa gusa iyo gupima bitaracika cyangwa iyo kumenya ubwoko nyabwo bw’utunyangingo tw’indwara ya kanseri byahindura uburyo bwo kuvura.

Itsinda ryawe ry’abaganga rishobora kandi gukora ibizamini byongeyeho kugira ngo barebe niba kanseri yamanutse mu bindi bice by’umubiri wawe, ibi bifasha mu gutegura uburyo bwo kuvura.

Ni ikihe kivuriro cya eseme ry’uburibwe bw’umutwe?

Uburyo bwo kuvura eseme ry’uburibwe bw’umutwe bwateye imbere cyane mu myaka ya vuba aha, hari uburyo bwinshi buhari bufasha gucunga ibimenyetso no gushobora kongera igihe cyo kubaho. Igishushanyo cyawe cyo kuvura kizahinduka bitewe n’ibintu nko bunini n’aho eseme ry’uburibwe riri, ubuzima bwawe muri rusange, n’ubwoko bwa kanseri yawe.

Uburyo nyamukuru bwo kuvura burimo:

• Uburyo bwo kuvura hakoreshejwe imirasire y’ubushyuhe (stereotactic radiosurgery) (imirasire y’ubushyuhe ihujwe neza)
• Uburyo bwo kuvura hakoreshejwe imirasire y’ubushyuhe ku bwonko bwose
• Kubaga kugira ngo bakureho tumyemezo tworoshye kubona
• Imiti igabanya indwara ya kanseri
• Uburyo bwo kuvura hakoreshejwe imiti igabanya ubudahangarwa bw’umubiri
• Uburyo bwo kuvura hakoreshejwe imiti yo kurwanya kanseri (ku bwoko bumwe bwa kanseri)
• Imiti yo gucunga ibimenyetso n’ingaruka mbi

Uburyo bwo kuvura hakoreshejwe imirasire y’ubushyuhe, nubwo izina ryayo, si ubuvuzi. Itanga imirasire y’ubushyuhe ihujwe neza kugira ngo ibone tumyemezo tw’uburibwe mu gihe ikomeza ingingo z’ubwonko zimeze neza. Ubu buryo bwo kuvura bukunze gukorerwa tumyemezo duto cyangwa duto hagati kuko ari bwo buryo buhujwe kandi busaba gusa inama imwe kugeza kuri eshatu.
