Elastography Method Recently Tested Out By Sending Vibration To Brain Cancer Patients

There almost no effect for some patients that diagnosed by brain cancer in regard to recent treatments they are underwent currently 

The result may vary to different brain cancer patients that lead Norwegian researches to do experiment in using vibration 

So why does this to happen ?

Well, each of patient regardless they are having in similar stage of brain cancer still there is a chance that the tumours that they had slightly different in consistency

Some have tumours in soft-jelly like while others hard as stone which lead to of-course a different medication treatment 

Some of chemotherapy and radiation has been done , yet it's hardly to reach the tumours sometimes that put the patients at risk of unworked medication treatment

These healthy lifestyle habit will keeping you away off any harmful cancers 

To find out more the surgery need to be taken to remove the tumours out, which likely to be an alternative after the radiation and chemotherapy process

In response to the case why brain cancer patients that diagnosed similarly having tumors that behave differently , the researches team at University Hospital in Oslo or OUS giving a new method called elastography by sending harmless vibration to the patient's brain

And how does it work ?? 

Small instrument being placed against the patient's skin to deliver waves , as being sagged it's likely subwoofer vibration 

Kyrre Eeg Emblem project manager at University Hospital elaborated further in how they are in hope to observe how vibration works through the brain cancer diseased tissue 

To dig information more in regard to the patient's resistant tumour and likely to find out how the cancerous tumors grow

The study would be carried out through 200 adult patients that had been recruited 

As per into the elastography method had been applied to overcome the liver disease and never been used for brain cancer 

The study aimed to identify the resistant tumours and then prescribe best medicine that will softening the tissue and lead them to be more responsive to the brain cancer normally treatments like radiation and chemotherapy

Unfortunately the tissue samples that being taken can't describe the whole surrounding environment as it was taken from particular area
