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...
