A Biological Marker Within Brain Tumors

By Robert Sutter


Brain tumors are, by nature, some of the most intricate substances that can be seen in the human body. There are so many different details that can be uncovered and each of them deserve the attention that they are given. Certain articles have been able to focus on his point, which probably goes without saying. However, one particular story has been able to talk about biological markers and I feel as though this is a subject that deserves far more attention than it has been given.

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.

When it comes to a particular marker, it seems as though glioblastomas are viewed as even more aggressive tumors in the brain. The article, in particular, made mention of F11R. Keep in mind that this is created in the brain and not exactly through cancerous cells, either. In fact, it is made by the healthy cells - dubbed monocytes - so that they may be protected better. However, they can offer support to the afflicted cells as well, which only sheds more light on this medical situation.

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.

I believe that there are various triggers that can be had for brain tumors, considering just how detailed they are. For example, certain markers can come into play and I'd like to think that this particular story focused on F11R rather well. It goes to show that there is so much that can be said about these growths and I do not think that anyone can say differently. My only hope is that better therapies will be created for the sake of finding more solid treatment options.
