Brain cancer research is one of the most detailed processes that can be imagined. It seems as though there are many studies to consider about therapy in general and I believe that there are various details which can come to the surface as well. However, most of these are rooted in studies involving medicine; what about the idea of social activity in younger patients specifically? From what I've seen, there is quite a bit of information that is worth picking up on in this field.
CTV Calgary News posted an article that spoke about this condition and how it can impact social growth and activity in children. Dr. Fiona Schulte put together a brain cancer research study so that the "social deficits" could be looked into with detail. Schulte said that, in comparison to the typical diagnosis and treatment that came with this condition, the long-term difficulties can oftentimes be some of the most serious. As a result, this particular story is one that organizations such as Voices against Brain Cancer should focus on.
What are some of the most common deficiencies that can come about as a result of this type of cancer, you may wonder? The report said that children can become withdrawn, bullied, and fail to connect with other children. In terms of school, they may not do as well as other children. Not only can these issues prove to be detrimental during growth but those kinds of issues can, in theory, carry over into adulthood and these individuals may find themselves struggling to gain employment down the road.
When it came to the study that was mentioned in the report, there were social activities put into place for the sake of growth. While a control group was seen, there was another group that underwent therapeutic intervention. In this regard, various subjects were employed, whether it was a matter of starting conversations with other children or being able to resolve conflicts peacefully. It's apparent that these results were going to be measured and the fact that said results were positive should speak volumes.
What were some of the earlier results, according to Schulte? From what the article was able to detail, the children studied were able to hold onto eye contact much better than they would have been able to without the study put into place. They have also been able to interact with others in terms of cooperative play, working together with them while remaining friendly. It's clear that while this cancer can have its impact, there are improvements that can be made on the social front.
