I believe that any type of cancer should be looked at as important since there are a number of details that are to be considered. All you have to do is look at the growths that have been looked at in tumor research in order to figure out just how intricate they are. Seeing as how there is much in the way of complication, work is done consistently by researchers. That being said, how important is it for early detection to be done for the sake of patients?
Brain tumors are those which do not discriminate against anyone and can come about out of nowhere, it seems. As it stands, there is no clear reason as to why this type of cancer comes about in individuals. There have been ideas, though, such as genetics being set in place or radiation being contracted for one reason or another. I do not know if these are concrete, though, since we can only go by assumptions so much as far as this type of research is concerned.
An article on Huffington Post went into detail about World Wrestling Entertainment and its partnership with Susan G. Komen in order to raise breast cancer awareness. What struck me as interesting were the comments made by John Cena, who is seen by many as the poster child of sorts for WWE. Cena said that there was a more personal connection to this partnership that made him want to help that much more. To him, it was about helping a condition that impacted his family when he was younger.
Cena's youngest brother, Sean, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and it was something that Sean had to find treatment for. It goes without saying that remedies in the way of tumor research are not the most concrete and that it's why more and more work is seen in this field. However, the fact that the growth was found early on was able to help that much more and Cena believed it saved Sean's life. It's an important factor that should have the attention of organizations like Voices against Brain Cancer.
Regardless of the type of profession someone may be in, it goes to show that effort goes a long way in creating awareness for any condition of this nature. WWE has done its part to make the public more informed on the matter and the various members of talent have stood up for this as well, whether it is a matter of pink t-shirts being worn by wrestlers for what have you. Cena's story, in my opinion, is something that deserves more attention, though. It shows that early detection can be lifesaving.
