CancerYoung adultBrain tumorsThe management of adolescents and young adults with brain tumors, which consist of many different histologic subtypes, continues to be a challenge. Better outcome with a decrease of the side effects of the disease and therapy and improvement of quality of life has been...
We generate interest in our cause through brain cancer awareness initiatives. Contact our nonprofit cancer organization to offer your support.
Brain cancer can be either nonmalignant (low-grade tumors) or malignant (high-grade tumors), with glioblastomas being the most aggressive and prevalent malignant brain cancer in adults. Understanding the molecular features and pathways involved in brain cancer is crucial for improved diagnosis, ...
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against ca...
Brain tumors are among the most aggressive and deadly cancers and a leading cause of cancer-related death in children and young adults. Glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive form of brain tumor that is characterized by a very rapid tumor growth of glia cells – the most abundant cell types...
Wilms Tumor is a type of cancer that affects mostly children and rarely young adults. When cancer cells develop in one or both kidneys, Chances of being affected with Wilms Tumor increase. This type of tumor can spread to Lungs, Lever and Lymph Nodes. ...
The scientists recommend that people with advanced-stage fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, which mostly affects teenagers and young adults, receive regular neuroimaging scans because of the tumor's apparent ability to metastasize to the brain.

thereby leading to high expression of oncogenes and the tumor initiation82. In colorectal cancer,IGF2is a target of enhancer hijacking, which is mediated by the formation of a contact domain comprisingIGF2and a lineage-specific superenhancer82(Fig.3). In addition, Wang et al. developed a com...
We will now review sex differences in fetal hormonal effects, memory formation, stress response plasticity, and reaction to brain injury in adults. These sex differences result from both hormonal and non hormonal sex-specific mechanisms of brain plasticity, which lead to a sex difference in the ad...
