The day before yesterday, I watched, on television, a very interesting news, about brain tumors. Above all, the news was saying this method is non-invasive. If you want to watch this video, please click below:

Vicente Vallés (Presenter of the Newscast in Antena3, at three o´clock): “Today, we speak you of a hopeful breakthrough in the treatment of brain tumors: researchers from the VaII d'Hebron Hospital, in Barcelona, have presented a technique, that allows more simple treatment. That diagnostic test involves a lumbar puncture; and it is much less aggressive than those made so far. With the analysis of the liquid, extracted from the spine, you can know if there is a tumor, in the brain, and, moreover, what is your genetic profile and if you are responding to treatment. The finding also facilitate early diagnosis of brain metastasis, so that they can be treated more effectively”
Joan Seoane (Research Coordinator): “Thus, we have a process, that is minimally invasive, it can be repeated, if necessary, and allows us to characterize very well, how the tumor is and how we can treat it”.
Well, I hope that you do think, as I do, that it is a very important step forward in the fight against cancer.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
