It's clear that brain cancer therapy is a widely talked about subject and I don't think that anyone is going to be able to understate this idea, either. Keep in mind that I'm very much an animal lover, which is why I wanted to focus on this particular report. As great as dogs may be for pets, it seems like they can prove helpful in other ways as well. What I did not know, until just recently, is how well they could come into play in order to help make said therapy even better.
According to an article on MyFox9.com, the University of Minnesota is currently undergoing studies on canine cancer in order to potentially help humans with the same kind of condition. The story talked about a seven-year-old boxer named Murphy, who was diagnosed with glioma. This is considered the most common type of tumor that is found in the brain. As a result, Murphy would have about two months left to live, though I believe that the studies being done on this particular matter can be deemed noble.
I am sure that those reading may be curious as to what these steps include. I believe that there is hope on the matter, seeing as how a brain cancer therapy has been in the works by Dr. Liz Phular. The article stated that this treatment had been built over the course of five years and included many dogs. In fact, Murphy is actually the one hundredth canine to take part in this. It is a two-step process that should bring the attention of organizations along the lines of Voices Against Brain Cancer forward. What can these steps include, you may wonder?
The way that this treatment will work is actually very simple. First, the canine undergoes surgery in order to have the tumor removed. After this is done, a vaccine is administered, which will supposedly allow the animal to live another year without the usage of chemo or radiation therapy. If you think that dogs are the only group helped by this, you'd be wrong. In fact, it was reported that a man named John Huls was treated back in 2011 with this research and has done well since then.
I believe that brain cancer therapy is one of the most important fields that just about anyone can think of. You have to keep in mind that a number of studies are being done, with some of them gaining more attention from the public than others. It's unfortunate that even animals suffer from these kinds of tumors. However, with their help, it seems like they will be able to help out in ways that will be able to raise awareness on this notable cause.
