Electricity & The Field Of Brain Tumor Research

By Rob Sutter


It's apparent that brain tumor research is going to bring a tremendous amount of attention to the forefront. Anyone would be able to agree on the matter, especially when you take into account that this level of research can bring so many different therapies to the forefront. However, what about those that are rooted in electricity? It seems as though an electrical cap can be brought into effect and it seems like the idea can be responsible for great improvements for a number of patients.

A written report on abc123.com talked about how well this electrical cap has been able to come into play for greater brain tumor research efforts. It's not hard to see why, especially after the way that Melissa Hernandez-Chaczco, who wore it for 18 hours per day for the past two years, was able to benefit from it. It's clear that electricity is one element that should be looked at more often. Such a story should have the focus of organizations along the lines of Voices against Brain Cancer.

To say that the way this cap can work 18 hours per day is tremendous but there is more to it than that. The article spoke about the matter, saying how electricity was able to be transported along the brain through 36 ceramic disks. They have proven themselves to be useful, Hernandez-Chaczco stating that she has not felt said disks as they were put to work. It's clear as to why this cap has gained great emphasis, especially in comparison to radiation, invasive therapy, or what have you.

There's been a level of responsibility to consider as far as swapping out the electrodes every few days was concerned. For those who are looking at the more scientific evidence behind this cap, take into account how electricity plays into the brain as far as cell maintenance is concerned. The electricity has a strong effect on mitosis or cell division, which renders the cells paralyzed. For those who don't know, if the cells stay in this stage for too long, they will die out, which makes this process quite effective.

I believe that this method is one that will be able to change the landscape of research in a positive way. The results that have been seen in this particular story are some of the best, which is something that I have a hard time arguing against. Keep in mind that there are side effects to consider with other procedures - chemo, for example - if they are done at tremendous rates. Knowing this, the idea of normal cognitive function is going to be kept firmly in mind.
