At the advanced stage, most cancer cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissue and organs through blood and fluids circulation.
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive cancers that begins within the brain, caused mostly by abnormal astrocytic cells and dead cells (necrosis). The disease is considered one of the most aggressive cancers induced by the alternation of cells originated from the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres.
According to statistics, most patients diagnosed with cancer die within 12 to 15 months. Less than 5% of patients are survived longer than five years.
If you are male you are at 1.5 higher risks of glioblastoma, compared to the female's counterpart.
The causes of glioblastoma are unknown, some researchers suggested that genetic preposition and environmental factors, previous radiotherapy, a weakened immune system may be some risk factors associated with the onset of the disease.
However, most cases of GBM are diagnosed at an older age with a median age of 64. Some researchers suggested that aging with the change of body function may be one of the major risk factors that cause the incidence.
Most patients with GBM experience symptoms of brain swelling caused by the overexpression of the fluid surrounding the tumor.
Conventionally, due to the nature of rapid growth, surgery is necessary to relieve the brain pressure and remove the tumor as much as possible, followed by radiation and chemotherapy.
Furthermore, the condition also shares the common symptoms of other types of cancer such as gastrointestinal discomforts accompanied by personality changes, and symptoms similar to those of a stroke.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of neurological diseases, scientists examined the effects of Angelica Sinensis on glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
Angelica or Dang Gui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.
The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.
According to tested analysis, Angelica sinensis accelerates apoptosis by their key substances influencing factors of apoptosis pathways, including
* Biochemical stress associated with cell death such as oxidative stress in the induction of cytotoxicity.
* Induced DNA damage to the cancer cells by enhancing the tumor suppressor protein such as p53.
* Lack of growth factors involved in cell proliferative and differentiation.
Based on the results, researchers suggest, "our review puts emphasis on the potential of natural products in GBM treatment by regulating multiple malignant cancer-related pathways solving pending problems such as reducing toxicity and side effect".
Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
