London - Sana
British scientists have discovered hot spots in the brain that indicate signs of cancer that can be used to predict tumor progression and treatment.
A scientific research conducted by the Kings College London Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neurobiology, whose results were published in the journal (Niro Oncology Advance), showed that scientists selected and analyzed parts of living brain tissue from twenty people who underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor and discovered that clumps of cells in the brain Humans determine where tumors can become cancerous.
Dr Alistair Kirby, a co-author of the research, said that living human brain tissue provides excellent opportunities to study how tumors respond to treatment, and their study could "revolutionize" oncology and bring closer to the day when we can treat brain cancer.
The scientists pointed out that it is difficult to treat brain cancer because it is very invasive. Even after surgery and radiotherapy chemotherapy, it remains a great risk for the survival of some cancer cells and the return of the cancer. In addition, some brain tumors can be benign for many years and then change their behavior very quickly and become aggressive and often doctors notice such as This picture is for young people.
