I think that we have been told since our first days on this world that eating healthy is one of the most important things to do. Foods which have cholesterol and calories for days, in essence, are the ones that we should steer clear from or consume in moderation. Body fat is something we all have and for better or worse it serves a number of purposes. As far as better is concerned, I think that we're slowly discovering that fat can be utilized to bring down brain tumors.
Voice of America published an article talking about brain tumors, more specifically how in the future they can be treated thanks to body fat stem cells. Basically, patients would put theirs to use in order to cure it but it's still a theory that exists in its earlier stages. There is potential to be seen in this case and I could imagine that any glioblastoma will be helped by it. Hopefully, in time, organizations the likes of V.A.B.C. will see this story and go on to see tangible results in the future.
One of the common ways that this condition is helped is through surgery but even then there is not anything that says this is concrete all-around. Basically, there are other methods which people can utilize and they may not be as invasive as your typical form of surgery. It's sad to say that there isn't a solid cure set in place yet for this condition but I think that it can change. This story could potentially be one of the catalysts of the change in question as well.
There have been laboratory tests done with these stem cells being used and the findings have been promising, as the article talked about. However, there is a level of confusion to be seen on the matter. This seems to originate from the mystery of how these stem cells are able to effectively seek out cancer cells as well. Once they are reached, the stem cells secrete a substance to lessen the cancer cells' aggressive nature and they could possibly be genetically engineered to treat them in the long run.
This theory is, in my mind, one of the best that deserves to be put into effect. Right now, experiments are being done on animals and it won't be until another three to five years that we will see more human trials. I still think that this story is excellent and that it could potentially impact those who have personal connections to brain tumors. Those who want to give their support to the cause may be driven more so now as they see researchers tirelessly working.
