When it comes to the development of brain tumors, perhaps no other point is more vital than that of diversity. When various types of individual cells come together, it makes matters difficult when it comes to breaking them apart. One can only imagine how much more difficult this can be when talking about treating the tumors in question through unique procedures. Why is it that these cells have such physical differences? It seems as though it has to do with chromosomes.
Medical Xpress posted an article that made mention of the possibility of "chromosomal abnormalities" being put into effect. Jianhua Xing, an associate professor specializing in biological sciences, said that the understanding of these various cells is what could result in greater information about diversity in this field. It's also been said that this has the chance of aiding in the creation of remedies to help patients. Xing did not perform in this field alone; in this case, he worked alongside neurological surgical specialist Yi-Hong Zhou.
The report said that Xing and Zhou were able to focus on the point of cell diversity in brain tumors, saying that this could come about because of chromosome 7, which is what cells have been possessing greater numbers of than what was sufficient. When it comes to the potential triggers of the tumors in question, Voices against Brain Cancer - amongst other organizations - cannot stress the important of this enough. What is it that creates this condition in the brain? With cancer cells harnessing the ability to bypass bodily security systems, this is a point that is more than worth noting.
As it stands, the study found that the mis-segregation of chromosomes was the one factor that seemed to be most influential in shifting cancer cells. This is also a method that can come into play in order to help tumors survive much more effectively than they would have otherwise. There are efforts being done in order to help reduce the occurrence of tumor cells. However, with so many different variables to consider, the scientific process is one that entails more attention here than in most other regards.
Are chromosomes the only factor, though, when it comes to how brain tumors are able to grow? It's hard to say that this is the case, especially when research has indicated that there might be other causes which haven't been proven. However, the work that is done by specialists the likes of Xing and Zhou have led me to believe that answers will come about in time. It's just a matter of seeing which procedures are most effective in creating that much more awareness in the long term.
