Patient Plays Saxophone While Surgeons Remove Brain Tumor
A musician who played his saxophone during surgery to remove a brain tumor helped researchers shed light on how music is processed in the brain.... Read More...
Eating Habits Affect Skin’s Protection Against Sun
According to a Cell Reports study, mice with abnormal eating schedules are more likely to develop skin cancer cells. Researchers report abnormal eating times disrupt the skin's circadian cycle and weakens the potency of an enzyme that protects against UV rays.... Read More...
Gene Combinations That Cause Glioblastoma Brain Cancer Identified
CRISPR technology and advanced screening techniques allow researchers to comb through over 1500 genetic combinations to find multiple drivers of glioblastoma brain cancer. ... Read More...
Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Stress Drugs Taken Before Surgery May Reduce Metastatic Recurrence
Scientist reveal a drug regiment consisting of anti-inflammatories and anti-stress medications given before and after surgery could reduce cancer recurrence. ... Read More...
Mapping Mutations That Drive Tumors in Childhood Cancer Survivors
Researchers have identified a specific rearrangement involving the NF2 gene that appears to cause radiation induced meningiomas. The Nature Communication study reports this mutation could be a basis for why many long term pediatric cancer survivors go on to develop brain tumors later in life.... Read More...
Blood Test May Detect Brain Metastases While Still Treatable
Researchers have identified a specific group of circulating tumor cells in the blood stream of patients with breast cancer brain metastases. The finding is helping researchers to develop a new blood test to identify breast cancer patients at risk of developing brain metastasis.... Read More...
Molecules That May Help Prevent Brain Tumor Development Identified
Researchers discover key elements associated with tumor cells binding to blood vessels. The findings could help develop new treatments to halt the development of brain tumors.... Read More...
CD44s Gives Glioblastoma Brain Cancer a Survival Advantage
A new Baylor study reveals the CD44s molecule gives glioblastoma brain cancer cells a survival advantage. Removing CD44s from cancer cells and treating with erlotinib helped to promote the death of cancer cells than by just treating the cancer with erlotinib alone, researchers said.... Read More...
Research Offers Hope For NF2 Neuro-Tumor Patients
Researchers from the University of Plymouth have discovered the tole PrPC plays in the development of neurofibromatosis 2 tumors. According to the study, the prion protein is overproduced in schwannomas, compared with healthy Schwann cells. This overproduction is a result of Merlin deficiency and contributed to tumor growth in NF2 patients.... Read More...
Combined Immunotherapy Could Help Control Melanoma That Has Spread to the Brain
Researchers report a combination of two immunotherapy drugs is safe for melanoma patients whose cancer has spread to the brain. Findings suggest this treatment could help control the disease.... Read More...
