Researchers report our gender can determine longevity and response to treatment for glioblastoma brain cancer. The study reports male survival is determined by genes that control cell division, where as female survival is often determine by genes that regulate the ability of cancer cells to migrate to different brain areas.
A new study reports researchers have identified a mechanism that aids the growth of glioblastoma brain cancer. By blocking the mechanism, researchers were able to halt the progression of the tumors.
Researchers have identified a biomarker that can help predict a patient's prognosis and response to therapies for glioblastoma brain cancer subtypes.
A new drug has been cleared for human trials in patients with anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma brain cancers. The drug, PAC-1, is reported to spur cancer cells to self destruct and has proven to be effective in animal models of brain cancers.
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.
A new clinical trial will test whether an experimental vaccine can help patients' immune systems to stop the spread of deadly glioblastoma brain cancer.
Depriving glioblastoma brain cancer cells of cholesterol caused tumor regression and prolonged survival in mouse models of the disease, a new study reports.
Findings could provide a new therapeutic target for glioblastoma, a new study reports.
A new study reports different types of glioblastoma tend to develop in different regions of the brain.
CRISPR technology and advanced screening techniques allow researchers to comb through over 1500 genetic combinations to find multiple drivers of glioblastoma brain cancer.
Glioblastmoa brain cancer patients who received an experimental vaccines in combination with chemotherapy showed improved suitability and tolerated the treatment well, a new study reports.
Using a new algorithm, researchers find the loss of the KLHL9 gene is a driving force behind glioblastoma brain cancer.
