Brain Cancer Treatment

Although seen from the number of events, number of patients with brain cancer is still low, with only six per 100,000 of the patient's tumor / cancer per year, but still the disease is a 'bogey' for most people. Because, although such tumors that attack is a type of benign tumor, invade the brain when the level of danger posed is generally larger than tumors that invade the body.

The growth of body cells that are not normally this is scary. The exact cause of cancer is not yet precisely known, but various factors have been known to increase risk of cancer. Risk factors can trigger brain tumors because of family history, radiation, chemicals, diet, certain drugs and cigarettes.

This disease can occur without significant symptoms, but are often characterized by symptoms such as headache, vomiting, impaired vision, awareness, hearing, walking and nerves. Unfortunately, so far no definitive treatment, but along with advances in medical technology and pharmaceutical efforts were made every possible effort to "expel" the disease.

Drug therapies have been used in the treatment of some types of cancer. In addition, other cases may be treated with surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Including surgery is often done, especially in patients with brain tumors.

Research on cancer treatment was continued. Sharks have been known to roam the oceans about 400 million years ago known morphology has never changed. Perhaps, in this fish's body, cancer cells can not grow, because the entire bone is cartilage. Is this correct?

In the record book on the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine food, eating shark fin is believed to prevent aging skin and gelatin contained in the shark fin is also believed to increase vitality. To be sure, she says shark fin is indeed delicious. Although the results were disputed by nutrition experts from Taiwan University, Prof.. Chang Hung-min who said a chicken's egg is more nutritious than a bowl of shark fin soup, but other researchers revealed positive results.

Investigators from Indonesia who is also Head of the Center for Wildlife Studies Primate Research Institute of Bogor Agricultural University, DVM Ph D Dondin Sajuthi recognizes shark cartilage extract can inhibit the growth of new blood vessels. That he proved through his research.

Doctor Henry Brem and Dr. Allen K sills from Johns Hopkins University reported one compound derived from shark Squalus, shown to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels that supply food to the brain tumor. By using vascular cells of the central nervous system of cattle, two researchers are dripping with squalamine. After two days, the growth of blood vessel cells dropped to 83 percent.

In addition to the shark, bovine cartilage also touted able to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels. About the results, Dr Greg Harper of the Council for Scientific and Research Organization Indutrial has proven it.

Western medicine are increasingly getting started bright spots with the discovery of drugs that are supposed to bring benefits in the treatment of brain cancer. Various studies have indeed still to be done to find a drug that has a high effectiveness. But we may hope that the expectations will be more open to treatment of brain cancer.
