HANOI: Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to closely coordinate with Thailand in investigating the deaths of six individuals, including four Vietnamese citizens, discovered at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel on Tuesday (July 16).

The couple have been raising money for brain cancer organisations since Oxenberg was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2017.

Doctors in Pennsylvania, United States, are now researching whether the treatment routine, paired with highly sensitive MRI monitoring, could one day make Oxenberg’s experience – living with glioblastoma for years – less of an anomaly.Glioblastoma is typically treated with a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, then monitored closely for signs the cancer is growing again. Once the cancer begins to regrow, it is almost always fatal.

The TTF therapy keeps cancer cells in check, and the highly detailed MRIs can help make quick changes to treatment, if necessary. Some cancer experts say that while the results are promising, convincing patients to take such aggressive measures can be challenging. Patients may have surgery to remove the largest portion of the tumour, though some are too deep in the brain to access.

The MRI technique uses images from the whole brain to create a real-time “temperature” that can tell doctors more precisely where a tumour is and whether it’s growing or shrinking.But the results are available right away, which can reduce anxiety waiting for answers and allow doctors to make more immediate changes to patients’ treatment plans, Mohan said.
