When it comes to the ways in which cancer research is done, I'd like to think that there are a number of processes that can be brought to the surface. Each of them will be able to prove to be most effective, especially if enough information is able to come to the forefront. That being said, what are some of the more unique procedures that have come to the surface recently? As someone who likes to read up on the matter, a recent report more than grabbed my attention.
KARK posted an article talking about a method that could prove to be quite helpful in the way of treating brain tumors. Basically, it would put forth the most minimally invasive method of surgery imaginable. However, carious other tools would be able to come into play in order to make matters easier, such as 3D imaging of the brain and a computerized brain-navigation system. I believe that this will be able to help surgeons out since they have more technologically reliant tools that they may fall back on.
While this surgery is a strong idea to consider, what is even stronger is that it has been put into practice. In fact, it has been done twice thanks to the work of John D. Day, M.D., the chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at UAMS College of Medicine. Day said that the work done in this regard could actually lead to greater instances of tumor removal. In addition, it could make certain that the brain would not be damaged severely; this would make certain that the healthy tissue would stay intact.
I believe that there are many different aspects that should be linked to cancer research, safety included. The methods that are brought out and then utilized should be safe for patients to go about. Fortunately, these are going to be seen in this procedure, especially since the article has said that 50 neurosurgeons in the United States are equipped for the procedure in question with the best tools imaginable. The fact that quite a few individuals have access to these deserves the attention of a number of related organizations, Voices against Brain Cancer included.
This story has been able to speak volumes about the importance that comes with safer procedures. The processes that are typically utilized now possess potential side effects that may not be the best for the patients, whether they are directly involved in cancer research or not. However, Day's work has more than been able to prove itself as unique and this story has more than been able to show this as well. A variety of tools have been effective in this study but it's just a matter of how great the results of the study will prove to be.
