Scientists discovered why aggressive brain tumors grow so fast and are testing whether a simple dietary change could help stop them. The breakthrough connects brain cancer to a rare metabolic disorder that doctors already know how to treat.
A groundbreaking vaccine targeting a common mutation in deadly brain tumors helped two-thirds of patients survive eight years in a clinical trial. The treatment trains the immune system to hunt down cancer cells carrying the genetic error found in most gliomas.
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.
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.
