Abstract

Although seen from the number of events, number of patients with brain cancer is still low, at only six per 100,000 of the patients tumor / cancer per year, but still desease is a 'bogey' for mos people. Because, although such an attack the tumor is type of benign tumor, invade the brain when the level of danger posed is generally larger than the tumors that invade the body.

Growth of body cells that are not normally this is scary. the exact cause of cancer is not precisely known, but various factors have been shown to increase risk of cancer. Risk factors can trigger brain tumors because of family history, radiation, chemicals, diet, certain drugs and cigarettes.

This desease can occur without significant symptoms, but are often characterized by symptoms such as headaches, vomiting, impaired vision, awareness, hearing, walking, and nurves. Unfortunately, so far no definitive treatment, but in line with advances in medical technology and pharmaceutical industries, efforts were made every effort to 'expel' the desease.

Drugs therapy has been used in the treatment of some types of cancer. In addition, other cases may be treated with surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Including surgery is often done, especialy in patients with brain tumors/cancer.

Research on cancer treatment was continued. Sharks have been known to roam the sease around 400 million years ago known morphology dos not change. That said, the body of ths fish, the cancer cells can not grow, because the entire bone is cartilage. Is this true?

In the record books on the efficasy of traditional Chinese medicine food, eating sharks fin is believed to prevent aging skin and gelatin contained in the shark fin is alson believed increase vitality. To be sure, he said this shark fin is delicious. Although the results were disputed by nutrition experts from Taiwan University, Prof. Chang Hung Min who said a chicken's egg is more nutritious than a bowl of shark fin soup, but other researchers revealed positive results.

Researchers from Indonesia who s also Head of the PrimatevResearch Institute of Wildlife Studies, Bogor Agricultural University, DVM Ph.D Dondin Sajuthi recognizes shark cartilage extracts to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels. That he proved through his research.

Doctors Henry Brem and Dr. Allen K Sills of Jhons Hopkins University reported that a compound derived from shark Squalus, shown to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels that supply food to a brain cancer. By usong vascular cells of the central vervoous system of cattle, two researchers are dripping with squalamine. After two days, the growth of blood vessels decreased by 83 %. 

In addition to the shark, bovine cartilage has also been mentioned to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels. About the results, Dr. Greg Harper of the Council dor Scienctific and Research Organization Indutrial has proven it.

Western medcine are increasingly getting bright spots to start the dscovery of drugs that are supposed to bring benefits in the treatment of brain cancer. Various studies is still to be done to fined a drug that has a high effectiveness. But we may hope that the expectations will be more open the treatment of brain cancer.
