Researchers discover a dependency of glioblastoma on biotin distribution
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Glioblastoma is the most lethal and malignant adult brain cancer that may arise from the neuroglial stem or progenitor cells. Certain gene mutations or those with a known history of other cancers and radiation therapy may predispose patients to develop brain cancer. Tumour relapse is invaria

Aggressive surgery improves survival in patients with low-grade brain tumo
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to the findings of a study led by UC San Francisco, the progression of a low-grade, slow-growing brain tumour to a deadly one can be delayed if neurosurgeons remove as much as possible soon after diagnosis.

Delaying antibiotics for neutropenic fever may not affect survival of canc
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Neutropenia--low levels of white blood cells called neutrophils, which fight infection--develops in more than 80 per cent of patients who receive chemotherapy for blood cancer. It occurs because chemotherapy destroys neutrophils along with tumour cells.

Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The sympathetic nervous system tumour known as neuroblastoma mainly affects young children. In the Netherlands, 25 kids are given this diagnosis per year. An essential component of the therapy strategy is surgery to remove the tumour tissue. Since November 2014, the Princess Maxima Center fo

Researchers develop promising new cancer therapy
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Keytruda and Opdivo work by unleashing the immune system's T cells to attack tumour cells. Their introduction a decade ago marked a major advance in cancer therapy, but only 10 per cent to 30 per cent of treated patients experience long-term improvement.
