Pharmaceutical market fails pregnant women; and more
In a clinical trial published this week in PLoS Medicine, Charles Sawyers and colleagues looked at the safety of a drug called rapamycin in a selected group of patients who were undergoingsurgery after recurrence of glioblastoma (a highly malignant tumor of the brain). view more (2008-01-22)
BC biologists identify alternative brain cancer treatment
Boston College biologists have identified an alternative, diet-based method of treating brain cancer that does not involve administering toxic chemicals, radiation or invasive surgery. view more (2007-02-21)
Study compares treatment options for patients with brain metastases
Adding whole-brain radiation therapy to highly-focused radiation therapy does not improve survival for patients with cancer and brain metastases, but it may reduce the likelihood of the recurrence of brain metastases. view more (2006-06-07)
New insights about what GIST tumors can be treated with medication
The fatal soft-part tumor GIST has only recently become treatable by medication. In further studies, a research team at The Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University has now been able to determine what factors steer the prognosis and have therefore been able to show which patients should be considered for this new and effective, but also... view more...

New approach to gene therapy may shrink brain tumors, prevent their spread
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers are investigating a new approach to gene therapy for brain tumors - delivering a cancer-fighting gene to normal brain tissue around the tumor to keep it from spreading. view more (2008-09-26)
Brain tumor researchers find their 'niche'
Brain tumors appear to arise from cancer stem cells (CSCs) that live within microscopic protective "niches" formed by blood vessels in the brain; and disrupting these niches is a promising strategy for eliminating the tumors and preventing them from re-growing. view more (2007-01-17)
New tumor markers determine therapy intensity
Characteristic changes in the DNA of medulloblastoma, the most frequent malignant brain tumor in childhood, indicate precisely how aggressively the tumor will continue to spread and what the chances of disease relapse are. view more (2009-03-18)
WT1, male fertility and tumorigenesis
Detailed in an upcoming report in G&D, Dr. Miles Wilkinson and colleagues use a new tissue-specific RNAi approach they developed to identify a novel postnatal role for the Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) tumor suppressor in spermatogenesis. view more (2006-01-16)
Possible birthplace of malignant brain tumors identified
Researchers have found that abnormal stimulation of a cellular trigger that normally regulates replenishment of brain cells in adults causes invasive tumor-like growths in mice. view more (2006-07-20)
Gorilla gets MRI at Bronx Zoo
Talk about house calls! The Wildlife Conservation Society thanks The Brain Tumor Foundation and its "Road To Early Detection" campaign for their assistance in performing a brain scan on a gorilla at the Bronx Zoo. view more (2009-03-27)
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)
Breakthrough in 3-D Brain Mapping Enables Removal of Fist-Sized Tumor
A new technology involving the fusion of four different types of images into a 3-D map of a patient's brain has helped University of Cincinnati (UC) specialists successfully remove a fist-sized tumor from the brain of an Indiana woman. view more (2009-07-15)
Stealthy gene network makes brain tumors flourish
The brain tumor afflicting Sen. Edward Kennedy - a glioblastoma - is the most aggressive and wily form of brain cancer. view more (2009-07-15)
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)
Animal Study Identifies Promising New Target for Brain Tumor Therapy
A drug that targets the body's immune cells may be effective in treating malignant brain tumors, according to a new study led by researchers at Duke's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. In animal models, the drug re-engaged the body's cancer-damaged immune system. view more (2007-05-09)
Common Virus May Help Doctors Treat Deadly Brain Tumors
A common human virus may prove useful in attacking the deadliest form of brain tumors, according to study conducted by researchers at Duke's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. view more (2007-10-23)
Lithium may help radiation target cancer, spare healthy tissue
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators have uncovered a mechanism that helps explain how lithium, a drug widely used to treat bipolar mood disorder, also protects the brain from damage that occurs during radiation treatments. view more (2009-05-05)
MRI: A window to genetic properties of brain tumors
Doctors diagnose and prescribe treatment for brain tumors by studying, under a microscope, tumor tissue and cell samples obtained through invasive biopsy or surgery. view more (2008-03-25)
Every moment counts: Predicting treatment responses earlier for brain tumor patients
Using metabolic or molecular imaging to measure brain tumor patients' response to treatment is a powerful predictor of survival, notes a first-of-its-kind study presented at the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. view more (2007-06-04)
Computer Model Predicts Brain Tumor Growth and Evolution
Researchers from Brown University and other institutions have developed a computational computer model of how brain tumors grow and evolve. view more (2009-05-19)
