Brain cancer, MRI scan C016 / 4437
Brain cancer. Coloured coronal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan through the head of a 48 year old male patient with a glioblastoma (orange), with surrounding oedema (fluid) that is compressing the left ventricle (at right). A glioblastoma is a particularly malignant brain cancer that arises from the supporting glial cells in the brain. Treatment is with a combination of surgery and radiotherapy, but the prognosis is poor

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured coronal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a 48-year-old male patient suffering from brain cancer. The image vividly displays the aggressive nature of glioblastoma, an extremely malignant form of brain cancer originating from glial cells. The tumour, depicted in striking orange hues, is accompanied by surrounding oedema or fluid that exerts pressure on the left ventricle. The diagnosis and treatment of this condition are challenging; however, medical professionals employ a combination of surgical intervention and radiotherapy to combat its progression. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, the prognosis for patients with glioblastoma remains bleak. This photograph not only provides valuable insight into the anatomy and pathology associated with brain cancer but also serves as a reminder of the fragility of human health. It highlights the intricate workings of our cerebral nervous system while underscoring the devastating impact that diseases like this can have on individuals. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that behind every medical condition lies a person—a man in his forties—whose life has been irrevocably altered by illness. This visual representation prompts us to reflect on the importance of ongoing research and advancements in oncology as we strive to find more effective treatments for such malignancies.
