		<title>Brain Cancer and Aspartame</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In 2005, the results of a seven-year study  by the European Ramazzini Foundation for cancer research in Italy  demonstrated that the chemical sweetener, aspartame , &#8220;induces an increase in lymphomas and leukemias in female rats.&#8221; This study, involving 1800 rats, demonstrated that aspartame administered at varying levels in feed causes a statistically significant [...]]]></description>

		<title>Treatment Options for Brain Cancer: Surgery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Patients who are diagnosed with brain cancer have several options, depending on the tumor type and stage. Patients may receive surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Often, management approach is a combination of any of the three. 
In addition, patient may require treatment of other problems that arise from the main illness or as side effects of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brain Regions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The brain has three major regions: the brainstem, midbrain and forebrain.
The brainstem is composed of the medulla, the part that controls breathing, blood pressure, heart rate and digestion, and the cerebellum which coordinates speech and muscle movement. It is the most primitive part of the brain, as it controls the most basic and essential functions [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dealing with terminal brain cancer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A research was done on how people deal with terminal brain cancer â€“ points of view of both patient and their care givers.  Interviews were done on seven patients who have terminal brain cancer, and 22 loved ones who are supporting and are serving as the patientsâ€™ care givers. The questions prepared aims to [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Cancer Cells Migrate to Other Parts of the Body</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This mechanism is being studied for it allows specific cancer cells from migrating into other organs causing a spread of the disease. Most cancer cells afflict a specific body part or organ comes in a specific form.

		<title>Proof Of Cancer Cell Migration Presented</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Researchers at the famed Oxford University have discovered and have visual proof of how breast cancer cells migrate to the brain and induces them to mutate, themselves turning into cancerous cells themselves. Metastasis has long been known but proof of such a cell mechanism, wherein the cells of a cancer cell breaks out of the [...]]]></description>
