Stopping a moving target: Novel compound halts brain tumor spread, improves treatment in animals

eurekalert.org — “Researchers from Emory and the Georgia Institute of Technology have designed a new treatment approach that appears to halt the spread of cancer cells into normal brain tissue in animal models. The researchers treated animals possessing an invasive tumor with a vesicle carrying a molecule called imipramine blue, followed by conventional doxorubicin chemotherapy. The tumors ceased their invasion of healthy tissue and the animals survived longer than animals treated with chemotherapy alone.View full resource at eurekalert.org

Potential new eye tumor treatment discovered

sciencedaily.com — “New research demonstrates that a specific small segment of RNA could play a key role in the growth of a type of malignant childhood eye tumor called retinoblastoma. The tumor is associated with mutations of a protein called Rb, which is also involved with other types of cancers, including lung, brain, breast and bone. Their work could result in a new therapeutic target.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Allergies can minimize your brain cancer risk--study | TheMedGuru

themedguru.com — “Glioma is a brain tumor that begins in the nervous system's glial cells, which support the signal-conducting neurons. Malignant gliomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system that affects the brain and spine. These tumors are often resistant to treatment and carry a poor prognosis. A new research now suggests that people who have more types of allergies- seasonal, medication, pet, food, and other- tend to have a lower risk of developing glioma.View full resource at themedguru.com
