Repeated Surgeries Appear to Extend Life of Patients With Deadliest of Brain Cancers
November 1, 2012 — People who undergo repeated surgeries to remove glioblastomas -- the most aggressive and deadliest type of brain tumors -- may survive longer than those who have just a one-time operation, new ... > full story -
New Anti-Tumor Cell Therapy Strategies Are More Effective
October 25, 2012 — Targeted T-cells can seek out and destroy tumor cells that carry specific antigen markers. Two novel anti-tumor therapies that take advantage of this T-cell response are described in two new ... > full story -
Aggressive Brain Tumors Can Originate from a Range of Nervous System Cells
October 22, 2012 — Scientists have long believed that glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive type of primary brain tumor, begins in glial cells that make up supportive tissue in the brain or in neural stem ... > full story -
Obesity Promotes Tumor Growth Regardless of Diet
