Can Certain Pathways Aid In Glioblastoma Research?

By Rob Sutter


With particular studies being reported on, glioblastoma research being one such subject, I thought that it'd be worth talking about the ones that have caught my attention most. For example, the recent findings of the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center have caught my attention more than others. What caught my attention was how an abnormal pathway could aid in the expansion of cancer cells. After looking at more of the details linked to the story, I strongly believe this information can help later on.

You may be interested to learn about this condition beforehand, if you don't know much about it already. The report in question talked about this, saying that the National Cancer Institute estimated that 23,130 people in America would be diagnosed in 2013. If you're looking particularly at glioma, it makes up 15% of growth cases, which is actually pretty substantial when you consider that more than 120 types exist. Work has to be done on the matter and you can be certain that there is.

News-Medical.net talked extensively about this story and how it could be able to help in the realm of glioblastoma research. One of the reasons for this is because it could bring more information to the surface about the most prevalent tumor type that is known. Such information could potentially aid in therapies, altering them along the way in order to make them more effect. Such information should be looked by authorities like Voices against Brain Cancer because of the potential that it could bring to the forefront.

The report went into detail about the four types of high-grade gliomas as well: proneural, neutral, classic, and mesenchymal. Out of all of these, the mesenchymal is considered the most aggressive and, as a result, is given the worst prognosis of the four. It's also been said that the stem cells drawn from the tumor in question have higher levels of ALDH1A3, an enzyme that could actually aid in the way of research, depending on how well it is implemented into therapies in the future.

With a great measure of work being done, is it possible that glioblastoma research will be able to change in the long run? I think that this is will be the case, especially when you take into account that there are so many details which can be put into effect. I think that the research process as it stands has already proven itself because of how much therapies have changed over the course of time. All I hope for is more of the same so that even more positive changes can come to the surface.
