Study found no increased risk of developing brain tumors regardless of whether a person was a frequent cell phone user or if they had never used a cell phone before.
While incidence rates of malignant brain cancers have declined over recent years, the five-year survival rate for brain cancer patients remains low.
Researchers implicate the FOXM1 gene as a common driver in aggressive meningioma brain cancer.
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.
Diabetes and high blood sugar appears to lower a person's risk of developing glioma brain cancer, a new study suggests.
Researchers report being obese or overweight could be a risk factor for developing meningioma brain cancer.
Exposure to radiation appears to increase the risk of developing meningioma brain cancer in people under the age of 30, a new study reports.
Researchers have shown that infrared and Raman spectroscopy – coupled with statistical analysis – can be used to tell the difference between normal brain tissue and the different tumor types that may arise in this tissue, based on its individual biochemical-cell ‘fingerprint’.
Johns Hopkins scientists hope discovery will drive drug treatments. Johns Hopkins researchers say they have discovered one of the most...
Meningioma, the most common primary brain tumor in the United States, accounts for about 33 percent of all primary brain...
