Survival Statistics Show Hard Fight When Malignant Brain Tumors Appear at Multiple Sites
August 24, 2012 — When aggressive, malignant tumors appear in more than one location in the brain, patient survival tends to be significantly shorter than when the disease starts as a single tumor, even though ... > full story -
Metabolic Protein Wields Phosphate Group to Activate Cancer-Promoting Genes
August 16, 2012 — A metabolic protein that nourishes cancer cells also activates tumor-promoting genes by loosening part of the packaging that entwines DNA to make up chromosomes, according to ... > full story -
DNA Deletions Promote Cancer, Collateral Damage Makes It Vulnerable
August 15, 2012 — Genomic deletions promote cancer by carving up or eliminating tumor-suppressor genes, but now scientists report that the collateral damage they inflict on neighboring genes exposes cancer cells to ... > full story -
Vaccine Targets Malignant Brain Cancer Antigens, Significantly Lengthens Survival
August 15, 2012 — An experimental immune-based therapy more than doubled median survival of patients diagnosed with the most aggressive malignant brain tumor, researchers ... > full story -
Modification of Tumor Suppressor Affects Sensitivity to Potential GBM Treatment
August 13, 2012 — Biologists and oncologists have long understood that a protein called the epidermal growth factor receptor or EGFR is altered in at least 50 percent of patients with glioblastoma. Yet patients with ... > full story -
Protein That Helps Tumor Blood Vessels Mature Could Make Cancer Drugs More Effective
August 13, 2012 — Since anti-cancer drugs are carried to tumors by the bloodstream, abnormal blood vessel development can hamper delivery. Medical researchers have found a molecule that promotes tumor vessel ... > full story
