The 20th century saw the greatest progression in cancer research. Research identifying carcinogens, chemotherapy , radiation therapy, and better means of diagnosis was discovered. Today, we are able to cure some types of cancer, and research is ongoing. Clinical trials and research studies are the key to finding a cure, or a definitive method of prevention.
Limiting processed foods and red meats can help ward off cancer risk. These recipes focus on antioxidant-rich foods to better protect you and your loved ones.

In the World Health Organization described gliomas as tumors that arise from glia, the supportive cells of the central nervous system. This is a histopathological image of cerebral glioblastoma. KGH assumed based on copyright claims.
The work of Harvey Cushing and Percival Bailey not pictured demonstrated that the cellular structure of a tumor can guide treatment and prognosis. Here, Cushing operated on the th verified brain tumor, April 15, Photo by Walter W.
The sprawling and interweaving nature of normal glia makes it difficult to destroy glioblastomas when they arise. Shown here are the four different types of glial cells found in the central nervous system: Ependymal cells light pink , Astrocytes green , Microglial cells red , and Oligodendrocytes light blue. CC BY 3. Glioblastomas arise from astrocytes, the star-shaped cells that provide extensive physical and metabolic support for nerve cells.
This image shows cortical neurons and astrocytes in a cell culture in a mouse brain. Neurons are stained red, while astrocytes are stained green. CC BY 4. Here, an MRI of a brain shows left frontal glioblastoma. About the Author. References Beba Abadal, K. JCO Precision Oncology, 1 , 1—5.
