Analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer in Glioma: A Medical Anthropology Perspective.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine 2024 March 2
BACKGROUND: Medical anthropology plays a crucial role in understanding health, disease, and treatment within contemporary anthropology. As the incidence of tumors rises, with cancer posing a significant threat to human health, particularly malignant brain tumors, such as glioma, the need for accurate preoperative diagnosis and effective treatment strategies is paramount.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to review the literature on the advancements in medical anthropology and innovative medical technologies to enhance preoperative diagnostics, guide treatment strategies, and ultimately improve the survival rates and quality of life for glioma patients.
METHODS: This study reviews and synthesizes existing literature, focusing on chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging's potential to provide detailed information about the tumor microenvironment and metabolism. Extensive searches were conducted across reputable databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and relevant medical journals, to identify studies, articles, and reviews relevant to the connection between medical imaging and anthropological perspectives.
RESULTS: Examining CEST imaging in glioma reveals promising insights. Through a medical anthropology lens, we assessed the potential for accurate preoperative diagnosis and the development of targeted treatment strategies. The results highlight the significance of integrating technological innovations in medicine with the theoretical foundations of medical anthropology to achieve more effective outcomes in glioma research and practice. Key findings include the transformative impact of CEST imaging on preoperative glioma assessment, its principles, and its ability to distinguish gliomas from other brain masses. The integration of medical anthropology in clinical oncology was explored, highlighting the sociocultural factors influencing patient care and outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: This study marks a significant milestone in advancing the understanding and treatment of glioma. Integrating medical anthropology with advanced medical imaging technologies improves preoperative diagnostics, fostering innovation in both fields. This integration contributes to the overall advancement of glioma research and elevates the standards of patient care.
