Malignant gliomas and medulloblastomas — the most common brain tumours affecting adults and children, respectively — remain responsible for a disproportionate level of morbidity and mortality ...

According to Cancer Research UK, glioblastomas are the most common type of cancerous brain tumour in adults, and remain the ...

A new study led by Dr. Peter Canoll’s lab, in collaboration with researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Zuckerman Institute, and Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics, along with ...

Scientists have identified a potential new strategy for treating glioblastoma, the deadliest form of brain cancer, by reprogramming aggressive cancer cells into harmless ones. UCLA scientists have ...

Gliomas are the most common brain tumors, and many start off growing slowly as "low-grade" tumors before inevitably becoming aggressive, lethal, and "high grade." New research offers an ...

Gliomas are often malignant, occasionally slow-growing brain cancers with significant rates of morbidity and mortality. Although age and family history are known glioma risk factors, the science ...

Brain tumors remain the most common cause of death from childhood cancer. Paediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG) in particular are a mostly fatal disease group with a median survival time of less ...

David Phillips, 41, started suffering from intermittent headaches and thought the floor had "bubbled" up while at work as a ...

A study, published in Cancer Cell, shows that high-grade glioma tumor cells harboring DNA alterations in the gene PDGFRA responded to the drug avapritinib, which is already approved by the United ...

Veteran firefighters appear to have a higher risk of brain tumors called gliomas, which can be caused by gene mutations linked to flame retardant chemicals called haloalkanes, researchers reported ...
