This is because modern methods direct the radiation as specifically as possible at your tumor and protects your surrounding tissue. You may get radiation therapy using an external source of radiation, such as: Standard external beam radiation therapy Proton beam treatment Stereotactic radiosurgery (also...
The research team is now investigating how they can improve on the therapy—for instance by suppressing aspects of the immune response to CAR-T cells that might favor the tumor. The scientists are also studying how to take advantage of the tumors' biological quirks with targeted therapies. "Som...
aggressive form of brain tumor [5]. Despite advancements in multimodal treatment, the typical lifespan of GBM patients has only increased by 12–14 months, indicating a minimal enhancement of under 5% [6]. The low survival rate of GBM is due to their aggressive nature, making surgical removal...

Significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors have been made through better imaging, surgical techniques and advances in radiation therapy. However, the cure rate for most adult and pediatric brain tumor patients has not mirrored this success. Angiogenesis, the development of ...
Papillary craniopharyngiomas (PCPs) are a rare type of brain tumor that cause substantial morbidity for patients. While surgery and radiation are often used to treat PCPs, incomplete removal of the tumor and toxicity from radiation can leave patients with life-long health challenges after treatment,...
(A)-NPs and A-NPs-cTT1 enhanced brain accumulation, while no significant accumulation was observed in peripheral organs. Moreover, treatment with DOX and LAP loaded A-NPs-cTT1 led to tumor growth reduction compared to free drug and non-targeted NPs. Finally, animals treated with A-NPs-cT...

Among them, glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults with a poor prognosis of 5-year survival rate less than 5% following the standard therapy. In the past 17 years, the standard therapy of GBM has been surgery followed by radiation and the ...
