I think that we have been told since our first days on this world that eating healthy is one of the most important things to do. Foods which have cholesterol and calories for days, in essence, are the ones that we should steer clear from or consume in moderation. Body fat is something we all have and for better or worse it serves a number of purposes. As far as better is concerned, I think that we're slowly discovering that fat can be utilized to bring down brain tumors.
An article posted on Voice of America talked about brain tumors, saying how it is possible that stem cells from patients' body fat could work to treat them in time. While this is a theory that currently stands in the more primary stages, I think that it possesses potential just like anything in this endeavor seems to have. The particular tumor in this story is called glioblastoma and it is viewed as the most common and aggressive growth seen. Could organizations like V.A.B.C. address it in the future?
One of the common ways that this condition is helped is through surgery but even then there is not anything that says this is concrete all-around. Basically, there are other methods which people can utilize and they may not be as invasive as your typical form of surgery. It's sad to say that there isn't a solid cure set in place yet for this condition but I think that it can change. This story could potentially be one of the catalysts of the change in question as well.
The article spoke about how lab tests were done, putting these stem cells from body fat to the test against the cancer cells in patients. There is uncertainty when it comes to this method, though there is a great deal of promise to be mentioned. I think the aforementioned uncertainty comes from how the stem cells mysteriously are able to locate the aggressive tumors and its cells as well. However, the stem cells are still able to utilize a secretion so that these growths are brought down and may see better results to come.
This kind of theory should be put into place and it's actually being done on animals as we speak. This seems to be the safest form of experimentation, though it's been said that it will be three to five years until human trials start. I think that this story could potentially usher in more findings and I hope that people take notice that these are being done. Who is to say that people wouldn't want to give their support after learning about the hard work people are doing on the matter?
