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)
Gliomas exploit immune cells of the brain for rapid expansion
Gliomas are among the most common and most malignant brain tumors. These tumors infiltrate normal brain tissue and grow very rapidly. As a result, surgery can never completely remove the tumor. view more (2009-07-17)
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)
Unequal access: Hispanic children rarely get top-notch care for brain tumors
Hispanic children diagnosed with brain tumors get high-quality treatment at hospitals that specialize in neurosurgery far less often than other children with the same condition, potentially compromising their immediate prognosis and long-term survival, according to research from Johns Hopkins published in October's Pediatrics. view more (2009-10-09)
Is it possible to differentiate GISTs from leiomyomas by endoscopic ultrasonography?
A research article to be published on July 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. This research led by Professor Kim and his colleagues in Pusan National University, South Korea. view more (2009-07-29)
Cancer stem cells: know thine enemy
Stem cells -- popularly known as a source of biological rejuvenation -- may play harmful roles in the body, specifically in the growth and spread of cancer. view more (2007-12-26)
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)
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)
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)
'Gateway' gene discovered for brain cancer
Researchers have discovered that the same genetic regulator that triggers growth of stem cells during brain development also plays a central role in the development of the lethal brain cancer malignant glioma. view more (2007-02-15)
Paradigm shift: Switch for programmed cell death promotes spread of glioblastoma
Malignant tumors have usually lost their ability to destroy themselves by programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Therefore, tumors are often resistant to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, whose effect is based on forcing tumor cells to commit suicide. view more (2008-03-12)
SEK 20 million for brain tumor research
The M'Īrit and Hans Rausing Charitable Foundation in England has awarded SEK 20 million over five years to a research team at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University in Sweden. The team is conducting the so-called BRIGTT Project (BRain Immuno Gene Tumor Therapy), which is pursuing laboratory work and clinical research to try to find new methods... view more... (2003-06-25)
New imaging analysis predicts brain tumor survival
As early as one week after beginning treatment for brain tumors, a new imaging analysis method was able to predict which patients would live longer, researchers from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found. view more (2009-04-20)
Parkinson's approach with stem cells a promising first step
Brain cells derived from human embryonic stem cells improved the condition of rats with Parkinson's-like symptoms dramatically, but the treatment caused a significant problem - the appearance of brain tumors - that scientists are now working to solve. view more (2006-12-04)
Potential for noninvasive brain tumor treatment
Duke University engineers have taken a first step toward a minimally invasive treatment of brain tumors by combining chemotherapy with heat administered from the end of a catheter. view more (2009-06-17)
Hopkins geneticist discovers mutations in cancer cells that suggest new forms of treatment
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have identified three new genetic mutations in brain tumors, a discovery that could pave the way for more effective cancer treatments. view more (2005-09-27)
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)
UC Davis researchers find molecule that targets brain tumors
UC Davis Cancer Center researchers report today the discovery of a molecule that targets glioblastoma, a highly deadly form of cancer. The finding, which is published in the January 2009 issue of the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, provides hope for effectively treating an incurable cancer. view more (2008-12-30)
Reversing effects of altered enzyme may fight brain tumor growth
An international team of scientists from the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego, the University of North Carolina and several institutions in China have explained how a gene alteration can lead to the development of a type of brain cancer, and they have identified a compound that could staunch the cancer's growth. view more (2009-04-14)
Whole brain radiation increases risk of learning and memory problems in cancer patients
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 new research from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2008-09-23)
