Abstract：
This brief paper describes the challenges with treatment of depression in brain tumour patients particularly in the absence of any currently accepted guidelines for treating this perculiar subset of patients. The proposal offered here is to move to pharmacologic treatment with other modalities in a methodical pattern only after surgical intervention. This is because simply treating with medications based on physician / patient choice as currently recommended may not achieve optimal results in majority of cases in view of the multiple aetiological factors that interplay. A flowchart treatment plan is presented to guide management in a streamlined fashion.
摘要：
这篇简短的论文描述了脑肿瘤患者抑郁症治疗的挑战，特别是在缺乏任何目前接受的治疗该患者子集的指南的情况下。此处提供的建议是仅在手术干预后才以有条理的方式采用其他方式进行药物治疗。这是因为,鉴于相互作用的多种病因学因素,在大多数情况下,如当前推荐的基于医师/患者选择的简单的药物治疗可能不能达到最佳结果。提出了流程图处理计划，以简化的方式指导管理。
