Although New Heal, Young's Rare Cancer Research's New on him

Jakarta , Young has just declared cured of cancer diidapnya super rare . Not remain silent , then he fell actively independent research to find the genes that cause the appearance of strange cancers in the body .Elana claimed diagnosed with cancer called Hepatocellular Carcinoma Fibrolamellar ( FHC ) was at the age of 12 years ( now 18 years ) . Surgery is the only effective treatment to suppress cancer , and Elana was lucky because he was operated on at the right time .Even so , Elana also know if the cancer has spread , not much can be done by a doctor . Elana also know a number of other hapless patients like it .Upon entering his second year at her high school , Elana who have skills in computer science are undergoing internship in a lab and is responsible for assisting the researchers to sort the data in a number of genetic mutations in other cancer patients . From there Elana curious to try the same approach that the team doctor can find out what causes liver cancer ever diidapnya . Because so scarce , until now the cause of FHC has not been revealed by any researcher .Elana lucky got a lot of support and help from the people around him . He was accompanied by his father , Dr. Sanford Simon, who heads a cellular biophysics lab at Rockefeller University ; surgeon at Memorial Sloan - Kettering Cancer Center and a number of genetic experts from the New York Genome Center .One of the other survivors of this cancer also helped Elana identify the cancer . Pity he requested anonymity .The team had tripped problems , namely difficulty finding FHC patients to be tested . Moreover, according to Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation, which helped fund the study , only 200 people per year are diagnosed with FHC . And there is no doctor / hospital that stores tissue samples FHC patients after they operated on .Thanks to the help of his surgeon , Dr. Michael LaQuaglia , Elana managed to find a number of patients who are willing to be tested and a sample was collected . After that Elana back to the computer to analyze the differences that occur in tumor cells FHC patients .In a report published in the journal Science , together , the team found the oddity that occurs in patients with FHC .According to them , there is the genetic material that rupture in patients with this cancer . And the outbreak of the gene causing the 'head ' of the gene fused with the ' body ' of other genes . Consequently formed an abnormal protein that can only grow in the tumor , rather than in normal liver tissue . But this is what allegedly researchers can trigger the growth of FHC .And researchers claimed to find evidence of 15 tumors were similar in their accumulated earlier . " But this was a small study that still needs more research to see what is actually done the abnormal genetic material , " said Dr. Sanford as quoted by FoxNews , Tuesday ( 03/04/2014 ) .At least that was pioneered research Elana had made a team of researchers from the National Institutes of Health are encouraged to support Elana and her father in order to create a registration mechanism for FHC patients . They also posted a video on YouTube that contains the suggestion that other FHC patients to get involved in this research and jointly solve the mystery of the cause of FHC .Who knew they would eventually find the right treatment for a rare cancer that is common in teenagers .
