Inflammation Linked to Chemo Brain
A new study reports inflammation in the blood may play a role in cognitive problems following chemotherapy. Researchers report identifying the inflammatory biomarkers and reducing inflammation may prevent some of the symptoms of chemo brain. ... Read More...
Vulnerability Identified For Glioblastoma Subtypes
UCSD researchers have identified a new strategy to treat glioblastoma in a genetically distinct subpopulation of patients.... Read More...
Cancer Drug Starts Clinical Trials in Human Brain Cancer Patients
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.... Read More...
Chemo Brain Starts During Cancer’s Progression, Not Just After Treatment
Chemotherapy is often blamed for memory loss and cognitive problems in cancer survivors. However, new research published in Neuroscience challenges this belief. Researchers report cognitive impairments, often referred to as Chemo Fog, may actually start as the tumor grows and develops.... Read More...
Inner Ear Stem Cells May Someday Restore Hearing
Researchers report a promising treatment for reversing deafness, that converts inner ear stem cells to auditory neurons, may increase cancer risk as the process can make the cells divide too quickly.... Read More...
Targeting Cancer’s Achilles Heel
Researchers report they have developed a new method for treating cancer that has shown to almost completely eradicate the disease in cell cultures within the lab.... Read More...
Rousing Masses to Fight Cancer With Open Source Machine Learning
Georgia Tech researchers are calling on machine learning specialists and cancer researchers to help discover potential new therapies for oncological diseases.... Read More...
Therapeutic Form of Arsenic a Potential Treatment For Glioblastoma Brain Cancer
Arsenic trioxide, a treatment used for acute promyelocytic leukemia, may help extend lifespan in patients with glioblastoma brain cancer, a new study reports.... Read More...
Biomarker For Progression and Drug Response in Brain Cancer Identified
Researchers have identified a biomarker that can help predict a patient's prognosis and response to therapies for glioblastoma brain cancer subtypes.... Read More...
