Biological Markers & How They Connect To Brain Tumors

By Robert Sutter


There are certain aspects of brain tumors that are going to be focused on more than others. That being said, I do not think that anyone can argue against just how impactful these particular growths are and just how intricate they are. So many different details can be picked up on and I'd like to think that each of them deserves to be noted. After reading a recent report, it seems as though there is more to consider about biological markers than I have thought beforehand.

There was an article posted on Bioscience Technology and it's hard for me to argue against the level of detail included. Scientists have been hard at work at the Washington University School of Medicine located in St. Louis. What has been found was a biological market that could shed more light on the idea of survival rates that are seen in a great number of patients. I believe that, more than anything else, this goes to show that there is so much more information to utilize in research.

It was later found out that those who have this marker present at higher levels are going to have more aggressive glioblastomas, the most common and aggressive growths in the brain. The article spoke about F11R, a marker that is created in the brain. Instead of being created by cancerous cells, though, it is formed by noncancerous cells, typically for the sake of protecting the healthier cells. What has been found out, though, is that it can offer support to the cancerous ones, helping them along as well.

As organizations along the lines of Voices against Brain Cancer will be able to tell you, monocytes are deemed as the healthier cells within the brain. They are able to adapt to various changes made, even the formation of tumors, malignant or otherwise. Those who were involved in this study have been working hard in order to find remedies that can bring brain tumors down. Considering the information in place, I have to believe that the potential is present and that further therapies can be created.

There are certain triggers for brain tumors and I am sure that just about anyone will be able to agree. The formation of various markers can play into the matters as well, F11R or what have you. I think that this, more than anything else, goes to show that so much more that can be considered when it comes to these particular growths. My only hope is that further help can be attained as far as creating therapies is concerned. Before long, I am sure that success will be had.
