Researchers have pinpointed two key molecules that drive the growth of an aggressive type of adult brain cancer. The findings shed light on the mechanisms that underpin brain cancer progression and could eventually reveal targets for the development of much-needed therapies, researchers say. Lab tests Scientists conducted lab tests on tumour cells from patients with glioblastoma, a rare but...

CAR-T Cell Therapy Effective Against Aggressive Brain Tumors, Say City Of Hope Researchers
A patient has been successful treated from recurrent multifocal glioblastoma through the means of CAR-T therapy. The method involves a specific kind of immunotherapy which targets cells where the IL13Rα2 antigen is present. The antigen is very common when it comes to brain cancer. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Dec. 29, the study...
