There is so much information that one could think to brain cancer awareness, which goes without saying. Stories are going to vary so much from one research process to the other and each of them are going to be looked at different ways. Seeing as how a recent publication focused on the idea of a poliovirus, I decided to see just how well research would be able to put it to use. To say that I was intrigued by the end result would be an understatement.
According to the Chronicle, a modified poliovirus was incorporated for the sake of targeting brain tumors. The way that the poliovirus would work is to attack the cancerous cells in the brain, which would leave the normal cells alone. After phase one of the study, it seems as though nine patients have been able to see strong results because of this procedure, which is very telling. Perhaps there is much more to consider about his method than what might have been thought about in the past.
If you thought that this was a procedure that was thought about over the last month or so alone, you'd be wrong. The article said that 15 years of research went into this process before clinical trials began. To say that this is a piece of news that will be able to elevate brain cancer awareness that much more would be an understatement. In fact, I'd like to think that such effort is normal when referring to organizations along the lines of Voices against Brain Cancer.
Dr. Matthias Gromeier began the preclinical development stage of this research back in 2002, if you could believe it. I think that this is tremendous news, especially since the associate professor has been able to see strong results of this treatment. It is not uncommon for methods to change over the course of time, especially when engineering can oftentimes help therapies that much more. With stronger modifications made, patients have been assisted that much more in the field of medicine, which only lends that much more validity to the process.
The method spoken about in the article definitely has potential and I think that most would be to agree. Brain cancer awareness seems to be compromised of possibilities and reports like these only help to elevate that much so much more. Of course, some stories are going to stand out more than others, depending on how successful the stories spoken about prove to be. In this case, I feel as though more patients will be able to benefit from the modified poliovirus that has been utilized.
