Cancer tumors hijack the vagus nerve to communicate with the brain, triggering a hormonal response that suppresses the immune system.

A clinical trial shows that combining laser heat therapy with immunotherapy significantly extends the lives of patients with aggressive, recurrent brain cancer.

Keck Medicine of USC researchers have reported striking early results from a clinical trial that could reshape treatment for one of the deadliest brain cancers.

Research uncovering the origin of pineoblastoma, a rare pediatric brain tumor, has also revealed a dependency across multiple brain tumor types that share a similar molecular program. Scientists at St ...

Scientists have found a way to stop brain cancer cells spreading by essentially 'freezing' a key molecule in the brain. The finding could pave the way for a new type of treatment for glioblastoma, the ...

A new study shows glioblastoma isn’t confined to the brain—it erodes the skull and hijacks the immune system within skull marrow. The cancer opens channels that let inflammatory cells enter the brain, ...

Scientists in South Korea have discovered that one of the most common malignant brain tumors in young adults may begin years before a tumor can be seen. IDH-mutant glioma, long treated by removing ...

FATHER WERE TREATED AND RELEASED. U OF L RESEARCHERS HAVE CREATED A NEW DATABASE FOR BRAIN TUMORS DESIGNED TO SPEED UP THE DISCOVERY OF THE NEW TREATMENTS. WLKY’S MEGAN MATTHEWS SAT DOWN WITH ...

The screen worked, flagging expected cancer genes. But it also kept returning something that seemed impossible: genes for synapses, glutamate receptors, and neural signaling pathways. “We absolutely ...

A new study offers hope for brain cancer patients facing memory loss from radiotherapy. By blocking a single immune receptor, scientists preserved cognition in mice without dulling the cancer-killing ...
