AN INTELLIGENT COMBINATION OF MATHEMATICS AND CELL BIOLOGY COULD SPELL DEATH TO BRAIN TUMOURS
Combining two separate observations of cells in brain tumours could enable doctors to improve the success rate of radiotherapy. Speaking today (23 January) at the Institute of Physics Simulation and Modelling Applied to Medicine conference in London, chemical engineer Dr Norman Kirkby from the University of Surrey will explain how using the... view more...

Diabetes drug shows promise for preventing brain injury from radiation therapy
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine are the first to report that in animal studies, a common diabetes drug prevents the memory and learning problems that cancer patients often experience after whole-brain radiation treatments. view more (2007-01-11)
Brain tumour information for headstrong kids
For the thousands of children who have a brain tumour, new multi-media information is now available. For the first time, children with brain tumours and their parents have collaborated with the Brain and Spine Foundation to produce Headstrong, to be launched on Thursday, 18 March at the Science Museum in London. Involving children in this way is a... view more... (2004-03-16)
Cottonseed-Based Drug Shows Promise Treating Severe Brain Cancer, Say UAB Researchers
An experimental drug derived from cottonseeds shows promise in treating the recurrence of glioblastoma multiforme, widely considered the most lethal brain cancer. view more (2009-05-29)
Mayo Clinic tests novel vaccine to treat aggressive brain tumors
A vaccine that has significantly increased life expectancy in early tests of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) − the most common, most aggressive form of brain cancer in adults − is now being offered through a clinical trial at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. view more (2007-10-23)
Scorpion venom with nanoparticles slows spread of brain cancer
By combining nanoparticles with a scorpion venom compound already being investigated for treating brain cancer, University of Washington researchers found they could cut the spread of cancerous cells by 98 percent, compared to 45 percent for the scorpion venom alone. view more (2009-04-17)
Aiming to avoid damage to neurocognitive areas of the brain during cranial radiation
Radiation oncologists at Rush University Medical Center are intent on finding ways to avoid damage to the critically important hippocampus and limbic circuit of the brain when cranial radiation is required to treat existing or potential metastatic cancers. view more (2009-11-04)
Stereotactic radiosurgery preferred method of treating cancer patients with brain metastases
Cancer patients who receive stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for the treatment of metastatic brain tumors have more than twice the risk of developing learning and memory problems than those treated with SRS alone, according to researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2009-10-06)
Erectile dysfunction drugs allowed more chemotherapy to reach brain tumors in laboratory study
In a study using laboratory animals, researchers found that medications commonly prescribed for erectile dysfunction opened a mechanism called the blood-brain tumor barrier and increased delivery of cancer-fighting drugs to malignant brain tumors. view more (2008-07-29)
Cancer drug may improve memory in Alzheimer's patients
A drug now used to treat cancer may also be able to restore memory deficits in patients with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-09-08)
New Chemo Cocktail Blocks Breast Cancer Like a Fence
Think of a protective fence that blocks the neighbor's dog from charging into your backyard. The body, too, has fences -- physical and biochemical barriers that keep cells in their place. view more (2009-10-07)
Antibody targeting of glioblastoma shows promise in preclinical tests, say Lombardi researchers
Cancer researchers at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have successfully tested a small, engineered antibody they say shuts down growth of human glioblastoma tumors in cell and animal studies. Glioblastoma is the deadliest of brain cancers; there is no effective treatment. view more (2009-07-31)
Cancer immunoresistance linked to loss of tumor suppressor gene
Cancer immunoresistance may be partially due to loss of a well-known tumor suppressor gene, according to new research led by Andrew T. Parsa, MD, PhD, assistant professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. view more (2006-12-11)
Killing brain tumors from within: A 'Trojan horse' approach
A new method for targeting malignant brain tumors through inducing the cancerous cells to "commit suicide" has been developed by a team of researchers headed by a Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor of biochemistry. view more (2006-10-25)
Prostate cancer patients undergoing hormone therapy may experience cognitive effects
A recent review of the literature has found that hormone deprivation therapy, a commonly used treatment for prostate cancer, may have subtle adverse effects on cognition in patients-- such as in the ability to recall and concentrate. view more (2008-07-28)
Hope for sufferers of rare brain tumour
The condition affects around 25-50 individuals a year in the UK and accounts for 5-9% of all childhood brain tumours. view more (2000-02-09)
U-M researchers use nanoparticles to target brain cancer
Tiny particles one-billionth of a meter in size can be loaded with high concentrations of drugs designed to kill brain cancer. view more (2006-11-15)
Researchers report benefits of new standard treatment study for rare pediatric brain cancer
A team of researchers led by The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center unveiled results today from the largest-ever collaborative study addressing the treatment of a rare pediatric brain tumor. view more (2009-10-12)
Computer obeys thoughts via Brain-Computer Interface
A research group led by Academy Professor Mikko Sams is developing a brain-computer interface, a device that transforms electrical or magnetic brain signals into commands a computer can understand. Equipment of this kind is necessary. For instance, it enables physically disabled persons to use a computer keyboard. The Brain-Computer Interface, or... view more... (2005-03-02)
New targeted treatment for brain tumors shows promise in pre-clinical models
Monoclonal antibody targets key tumor growth factor; Successfully causes brain tumor regression and improves animal survival. view more (2006-02-15)
