New injectable gel shows potential for tough-to-treat brain tumours
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Wisconsin [US], August 13 (ANI): In most cases, months after the patient's first tumour is surgically removed, glioblastoma recurs, like the hardest weed. Due to this, the survival rates for this cancer are only 25% after one year and drop to 5% after five years.
