Major progress as Swedish scientists get brain tumors to self destruct

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, working with French colleagues, have successfully developed a method able to kill the aggressive brain tumor glioblastoma. By blocking certain functions in the cell with a docked molecule, the researchers cause the cancer to die of stress.Cancer cells, especially those that form aggressive tumors, are in one […]

Five advancements in brain tumor research over the past year

In 2023, it is estimated that 24,810 adults in the U.S. will be diagnosed with a primary malignant tumor of the brain and spinal cord. There is currently no cure for brain tumors and current treatment options are mostly limited to surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. However, there is a lot of research being conducted […]

Research looks to make drug appear like brain tumor ‘food’

New research has shown that the blood vessels that feed aggressive brain tumors have receptors that could allow a new type of drug-containing nanoparticle to be used to starve the tumors of the energy they use to grow and spread, and also cause other disruptions to their adapted existence, even killing themselves. Scientists from the […]

New drug could replace current standard for treating brain cancer

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a WHO grade IV brain tumor with dismal prognosis. Although post-surgical radiation chemotherapy combined with temozolomide is the standard line of treatment, GBM cells surviving radiotherapy contribute to tumor progression and recurrence even more aggressively. Researchers have now unveiled the mechanism of radioresistance in glioblastoma cells, identifying therapeutic targets to overcome radioresistance. […]

Researchers identify gene alterations that may affect response to brain cancer treatment

Spanish researchers have identified a range of genetic alterations in glioma brain cancers that will help them to understand how different mutations in one particular gene interact with other gene alterations and which ones are more susceptible to targeted treatments in adults. Presenting results from the largest group of glioma patients to date, Karisa Schreck […]

New discovery could lead to drug development for brain cancer

According to researchers, a study at Tel Aviv University in Israel effectively eradicated glioblastoma, a highly lethal type of brain cancer. The researchers achieved the outcome using a method they developed based on their discovery of two critical mechanisms in the brain that support tumor growth and survival: one protects cancer cells from the immune […]
