Cancer awareness is one of the fields that are worth getting into, especially when you see how much work actually goes into it. A number of measures are taken and I do not think that anyone can argue against the long term impact that this could have. I believe that anyone will be able to support just how strong certain therapies can be in the long term. However, what about the ones that may be able to put to use some of the more unique components seen in this field?
Medical Xpress wrote an article on this particular matter and it spoke about whole-brain radiotherapy. For those who are not in the know, this is one of the common methods of therapies in terms of this type of cancer but I am not sure if it is that effective. The reason that I say this is because, in large doses, WBRT could actually lead to cognitive deficiencies in patients. As you can imagine, there is work being done in order to find alternate methods with other various components put into place.
Deborah Watkins-Burner of the Neil Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing was able to focus on this matter in particular. Along with a group of various researchers, a different procedure that has been put to use that might have been able to help a group of patients who were in their first weeks of WBRT. Knowing this, they were given the choice to take up a placebo or Memantine. Results were found over the course of time but did anyone anticipate how viable these findings would actually prove to be?
It seems as though authorities the likes of Voices against Brain Cancer will be able to tell you about the various findings in this particular field. The report went into detail about how cognitive function was much better amongst the patients following this procedure. This alone makes such findings very worthwhile in the field of cancer awareness. In addition, it can only help research stand that much stronger than it would have been able to before, which is something that anyone involved in this field strives for.
I believe that this is one of the most interesting fields of research out there since there are many new findings to take into account. Some of them are able to put more common methods to use than others. The ones that are put to use as of now are not the only ones that can be cited, as you can very well imagine. However, as long as these methods are ones that are discovered before being put to use in the long term, it's hard for me to argue against such information.
