When it comes to any kind of cancer, early detection is one of the most important aspects to consider. This is especially true in terms of tumor research in regards to the brain, since it has seemingly been given attention for all of the right reasons. It is one of the most complicated conditions out there and the work done is some of the most tremendous as well. However, how important is early detection and how well does it actually play into research of this caliber?
I do not think that anyone can say differently about brain tumors and how they do not discriminate from one person to the next. From what has been seen in research, cancer can come about in anyone, regardless of how they old they are or what have you. There have been proposed causes such as genetics but nothing that has been concrete. All we have to go by is the litany of assumptions, which do not matter as much when it comes to the solid efforts of research.
An article on Huffington Post went into detail about World Wrestling Entertainment and its partnership with Susan G. Komen in order to raise breast cancer awareness. What struck me as interesting were the comments made by John Cena, who is seen by many as the poster child of sorts for WWE. Cena said that there was a more personal connection to this partnership that made him want to help that much more. To him, it was about helping a condition that impacted his family when he was younger.
Cena's youngest brother, Sean, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and it was something that Sean had to find treatment for. It goes without saying that remedies in the way of tumor research are not the most concrete and that it's why more and more work is seen in this field. However, the fact that the growth was found early on was able to help that much more and Cena believed it saved Sean's life. It's an important factor that should have the attention of organizations like Voices against Brain Cancer.
Regardless of the type of profession someone may be in, it goes to show that effort goes a long way in creating awareness for any condition of this nature. WWE has done its part to make the public more informed on the matter and the various members of talent have stood up for this as well, whether it is a matter of pink t-shirts being worn by wrestlers for what have you. Cena's story, in my opinion, is something that deserves more attention, though. It shows that early detection can be lifesaving.
