How Cancers Spread To The Brain
Research has shown for the
first time how cancers that
spread to the brain
establish themselves and
begin to grow. ... > full story
Potential For Non-invasive Brain Tumor Treatment
Engineers have taken a first
step toward a minimally
invasive treatment of brain
tumors by combining
chemotherapy with heat
administered from the end of

What Drives Lung Cancer's Spread?
July 3, 2009 — A new study reveals the genetic underpinnings of what causes lung cancer to quickly metastasize, or spread, to the brain and the bone -- the two most prominent sites of lung cancer ... > full story -
PET Can Measure Effectiveness Of Novel Breast Cancer Treatment
July 2, 2009 — Positron emission tomography scans in mice can be used to determine whether a novel type of breast cancer treatment is working as intended, study ... > full story -
115 Newly Identified Genes Implicated In Colorectal Cancer
July 1, 2009 — Previously, only a few genes had been associated with the formation of metastases in colorectal cancer. Now, researchers have identified 115 genes that are disregulated both in the primary tumor and ... > full story -
Biomarker That Safely Monitors Tumor Response To New Brain Cancer Treatment
July 1, 2009 — A specific biomarker, a protein released by dying tumor cells, has been identified as an effective tool in an animal model to gauge the response to a novel gene therapy treatment for glioblastoma ... > full story -
Identifying The Potential For Tamoxifen Resistance In Patients
June 25, 2009 — Tamoxifen is a widely used and highly successful drug in the treatment of breast cancer, though resistance to tamoxifen is still a concern in recurrent disease, since therapy resistant metastatic ... > full story -
3-D Protein Map To Aid Stroke And Cancer Research Drafted
June 24, 2009 — Researchers have generated a computer map of the protein acid-sensing ion channel-1, or ASIC-1, an important neurological pathway. The map greatly simplifies the testing of drugs or compounds ... > full story -
Cancer Researchers Develop Model That May Help Identify Cancer Stem Cells
June 23, 2009 — Researchers, on a quest to find lung cancer stem cells, have developed a unique model to allow further investigation into the cells that many believe may be at the root of all lung ... > full story -
Tumor Suppressor Gene In Flies May Provide Insights For Human Brain Tumors
June 23, 2009 — In the fruit fly's developing brain, stem cells called neuroblasts normally divide to create one self-renewing neuroblast and one cell that has a different fate. But neuroblast growth can sometimes ... > full story -
How A Common Genetic Mutation Makes Cancer Radiation Resistant
June 14, 2009 — Many cancerous tumors possess a genetic mutation that disables a tumor suppressor called PTEN. Now researchers have shown why inactivation of PTEN allows tumors to resist radiation ... > full story -
Novel Mechanism Controlling Tumor Growth In The Brain Uncovered
June 11, 2009 — As survival rates among some patients with cancer continue to rise, so does the spread of these cancers to the brain -- as much as 40 percent of all diagnosed brain cancers are considered metastatic, ... > full story
