Recent research suggests that asthma and allergies are related to the development of brain cancer called "glioma". The study conducted created a hope for a cure to the suffering patients as brain cancer is one of the rarer types with no chance of survival.
People with allergies like eczema and asthma are less likely to develop glioma brain cancer cells, Belmarrahealth reported. To prove it, 4500 patients with glioma condition together with 4,200 healthy individuals participated in the study. The result suggested that people with asthma and allergies of health history have a lower chance to inherit the condition compared to those who have no respiratory problem.
The examination shocked the medical world as this is a new discovery that may be the key to promote a quality of life among cancer patients. In addition to the report, statistical data of 30 percent shows that a person with history of eczema and other bronchial problems are less likely to have glioma brain cancer.
Supported by Melissa Bondy, a health author agreed to the truthfulness of the study, although it needs further confirmation through an advancement of research. As of the moment, the team who are involved to the same case study is taking into a higher step to unlock further facts that may uncover other helpful data to the legitimacy of asthma as a factor in lowering the risk of brain cancer.
Moreover, American Brain Tumor Association in a report said that the cure for glioma varies according to its type as there are six types. The treatment may vary to the severity of the condition as well; as aggressive chemotherapy and other regimen may be reinforce to preserve the health.
As of the moment, still ongoing research is conducted to arrive to an ultimate conclusion as whether or not respiratory problems will lessen the chance of brain cancer.
