Brain tumor patients in Augusta, Georgia can now receive treatment without surgery, incisions, or even general anesthesia. The new Gamma Knife Esprit system is already helping patients heal faster with fewer side effects.
A breakthrough gene therapy wiped out aggressive brain tumors in 83% of cases with a single dose and no side effects for nearly a year. The treatment also taught the immune system to prevent the cancer from returning.
Patients with low-grade brain tumors in England and Wales can now access vorasidenib, the first new adult brain tumor treatment approved in the UK in two decades. The drug helps patients delay harsh chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments while living longer without their disease progressing.
Children with a rare brain cancer now have a new treatment option after European regulators approved Ojemda, a targeted therapy that works once a week. In trials, more than half of young patients saw their tumors shrink.
Patients in England with low-grade brain tumors can now access a groundbreaking pill that slows disease and cuts seizures by 64%. It's the first new brain tumor treatment approved in the UK in two decades.
England approved its first new brain tumor treatment in 18 years, offering hope to 300 patients living in fear of their tumors growing. For Sally Penny, the pill has already given her a year without side effects and precious time with her children.
Scientists cracked the code on why aggressive brain tumors strike only young children, opening doors to new treatments. The breakthrough reveals how cancer hijacks normal brain development in ways doctors can now target.
Revolutionary DNA profiling technology now diagnoses brain tumors with 95% accuracy, helping doctors personalize treatment for 90,000 Americans diagnosed annually. From molecular fingerprinting to new ways of crossing the brain's protective barrier, researchers are turning one of medicine's toughest challenges into a story of hope.
A national trial found that an existing cancer pill may slow aggressive brain tumors in patients who had run out of options. Nearly 60% of patients saw their tumors stop growing for at least six months.
A new radiation therapy delivered during brain tumor surgery more than doubled survival time compared to standard treatment, eliminating weeks of waiting and uncertainty for patients. The breakthrough means cancer patients can receive radiation immediately instead of waiting up to a month after surgery.
Korean scientists discovered that deadly brain tumors in young adults may start developing years before doctors can see them on scans. The breakthrough could lead to earlier detection and better treatments for a cancer that often returns after surgery.
A new radiation system in Augusta can zap brain tumors smaller than a pencil tip without a single incision. Patients skip surgery, anesthesia, and lengthy recovery times.
Healthcare leaders in Dubai are working together to bring cutting-edge precision cancer treatments to patients faster, with a special focus on brain tumors during Grey May awareness month. The collaboration aims to make life-changing therapies accessible to everyone who needs them.
Surgeons now have a proven roadmap for removing brain tumors more safely and effectively, thanks to breakthrough research analyzing 1,391 patients across 16 medical centers. The new classification system shows that removing more tumor tissue dramatically extends survival, even for tumors once thought too risky to touch.
Scientists have developed a gene therapy that completely eliminated aggressive brain tumors in 83% of animal trials, with no recurrence over 11 months. The breakthrough treatment for glioblastoma, the deadliest brain cancer, uses a "Trojan horse" approach that kills cancer cells while training the immune system to fight back.
Doctors in Japan successfully diagnosed and treated 10 brain lymphoma patients using a simple spinal fluid test instead of dangerous brain surgery. The breakthrough offers hope for patients whose tumors are too risky to reach.
A tiny implant placed during brain surgery just proved it can slash tumor regrowth by 93% and lower death risk by 41%, earning $100 million to bring the breakthrough to more patients. After years of hope, brain cancer patients finally have a weapon that fights back the moment surgeons close the incision.
Andrew Satterlee survived brain cancer at 20, but doctors couldn't agree on which drugs to use. Now he's developed a platform that tests treatments on living tumor samples in just four days.
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have created a detailed map of a deep brain region that could help doctors precisely target therapies for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. The discovery shows that brain areas just 3 millimeters apart connect to completely different networks, providing a blueprint for more effective treatment.
A groundbreaking immune cell therapy caused aggressive brain tumors to shrink dramatically within days in early trials. The treatment offers new hope for glioblastoma, one of the deadliest cancers with few effective options.
