The relationship between mobile phone use and an increased risk of brain cancer is a debate that’s been around almost as long as mobile phones themselves. A huge study from the WHO that’s just been released should put the question to rest.Continue Read… Continue reading Do mobile phones cause brain cancer? New study has definitive answers
X-rays are known to penetrate the body’s deep tissues, which is why they’re used to deliver cancer radiotherapy. Whereas radiotherapy uses X-ray beams to damage tumor cells’ DNA, killing them, photodynamic therapy uses a different method to achieve the… Continue reading X-rays light up brain tumor cells – then selectively destroy them
Glioblastoma is one of the most deadly cancers, with few treatment options available. Now, a small human clinical trial has demonstrated an mRNA vaccine that quickly rallies the immune system to fight off the tumors, with promising results.Continue Rea… Continue reading mRNA vaccine tackles deadly brain cancer in human trial
Researchers have found that a now-discontinued drug used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease may be effective at treating metastatic breast cancer and the brain metastases that can often result. The repurposed drug has the potential to be a no… Continue reading Repurposed Parkinson’s drug found to be effective against brain cancer
Researchers have discovered how a metabolite involved in repairing damaged DNA not only controls a person’s sensitivity to cancer therapies but can also protect healthy tissues from damage. The findings may lead to more effective treatments for cancer…. Continue reading DNA-repairing metabolite may lead to improved cancer treatments
Spanish researchers have created the world’s first biobank of living brain tissue collected from patients with metastatic brain cancer. The biobank provides a library of samples upon which research can be done and drugs tested, with the data collected … Continue reading Spanish researchers open first biobank for living human brain samples
Researchers have discovered that cerebrospinal fluid, the brain’s shock absorber, contributes to treatment resistance in people with brain cancer. But their study also identified a more-than-sixty-year-old antipsychotic medication that can be repurpose… Continue reading 60-year-old drug can resensitize treatment-resistant brain cancer cells
Researchers at Harvard Medical School have developed a new AI-powered tool to help brain surgeons combat cancer. CHARM rapidly evaluates tumorous tissue during surgery to help professionals make on-the-spot decisions about how to proceed.Continue Readi… Continue reading AI tool helps evaluate brain tumors in real time during surgery
Researchers have developed a novel way of detecting brain cancer, using nanowires to ‘catch-and-release’ DNA in urine, enabling them to detect mutations that signify the presence of a brain tumor. Their method may one day mean that invasive tissue biop… Continue reading DNA ‘catch-and-release’ enables urine test for brain cancer
Being the control center of the body, your brain needs strong security against circulating pathogens or toxins. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) performs this vital function, but it can become “leaky.” Now, scientists at Stanford have identified therapeutic molecules that could help patch it up, to potentially prevent neurological diseases.
