Brain Cancer Research Without Need For Surgery

By Rob Sutter


When you think about brain cancer research, I am sure that most people commonly associate with invasive surgery. It's almost necessary for people to go under the knife if they desire direct treatment of these tumors. Without it, it's difficult to treat specific growths in the brain and it's like there are few alternatives to take. Having said that, however, it seems like one hospital is offering up a new method which will not require usage of a sharp instrument in order to see it through.

An article was shown on the Destin Log website, saying that the Sacred Heart Hospital would be making use of a brand new tool to treat brain tumors. The Gamma Knife Perfexion would not utilize common methods and instead put fine-focused radiation beams to the test in order to treat these growths. This is not your standard method of surgery where one would have to go under the knife. Just the idea that one wouldn't have to undergo this kind of surgery alone should be enough of a reason for this new method to be used.

The truth is that a Gamma Knife is not a new concept. The article said that over 275 institutions around the world to use it but this procedure is the first one to truly make use of it along the Gulf Coast. The technology that this procedure inhibits is of a high standard, treating benign and malignant tumors alike. In addition, there are common risks that come with your standard surgical methods. The noninvasive nature of this new process does not pose them.

As stated before, this procedure can help a number of conditions, which only helps to make brain cancer research all the easier. Along with tumors - benign and malignant alike - there is also a focus on a condition called arteriovenous malformation. AVM is a condition between the arteries and veins, which can cause difficulty in terms of speech, basic movement, and so forth. These sorts of facts are important for the sake of research and should easily bring attention to organizations like Voices Against Brain Cancer.

The Gamma Knife Perfexion is a procedure that has started back in Feburary and will, in recent times, start to go about its first case. I can only hope that said case goes over well and that we will start to see actual results. I want to believe that this system can live up to its advanced technology and refined hardware in order to help people. Cures can be found, I believe, and I think it's just a matter of taking the necessary steps to get to that point.
