When my brother’s Glioma Grade II brain tumor was turned into Glioblastoma Multiforme (Grade IV) in July 2013, he was advised to go for radiation ...
Treatment depends on the tumor's size, location, and type, as well as the patient's age and general health. The main treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. A combination of treatments — surgery and radiation therapy, for example — is often used. Before treatment, ...
Proton beam treatment Stereotactic radiosurgery (also called Gamma Knife or CyberKnife) You may also get brachytherapy, or internal radiation therapy, where your neurosurgeon places the radiation source in your brain at the time of surgery to help kill any remaining tumor cells. Immunotherapy Immunother...
Radiation therapy is used postoperatively as adjunctive therapy to decrease local failure; to delay tumor progression and prolong survival; as a curative treatment; as a therapy that halts further tumor growth; to alter function; and for palliation. Registration of MRI scan data sets with the tr...
Removing the tumor won't harm the brain. Doctors can do the surgery in different ways. Some may use smaller tools guided by cameras. Others may do a more traditional open surgery. Radiation Therapy Radiation uses high-energy beams to kill cancer cells. There are two main types for attacking...

When a non-metastatic brain tumor - a meningioma - recurs after surgery and radiation treatment, a patient is out of options. No drugs are approved for these aggressive tumors, which occur in up to 20% of cases and can lead to patient disability or even death. ...
professional performing it on the risk of getting a tumor. If you are living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant, even a small leakage can put you at great risk. Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents are the best example of people getting exposed to radiation and developing cancers....
Duke University Medical Center researchers have figured out how stem cells in the malignant brain cancer glioma may be better able to resist radiation therapy. And using a drug to block a particular signaling pathway in these cancer stem cells, they were
