Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and frequent brain tumor, albeit without cure. Although patient survival is limited to one year on average, significant variability in outcome is observed. The assessment of biomarkers is needed to gain better knowledge of this type of tumor, help prognosis, design and evaluate therapies. The neurodevelopmental polysialic acid neural ...

I sit here again in a Illinois hospital as a loved one lays in intensive care. I cannot seem to escape the gravitational pull of Illinois hospitals with my family members as patients. Arriving yesterday at 6:00 p.m. after a long flight from Alaska I was confronted with another horrific example of the frailties of human life. He lay there, barely able to breath on his own, with eyes partially ...

... cancer recurrence shows promise in study Posted: 23 Feb 2010 05:00 AM PST Glioblastoma is one of the most deadly human brain cancers. Radiation can temporarily shrink a tumor, but ... 2010 02:00 AM PST Researchers report the identification of a protein that is highly expressed in a subgroup of glioblastoma brain tumor cells and show that depletion of this protein increases the survival of mice ...

Story Summary: Although the researchers focused their study on glioblastoma, other tumors use a similar mechanism to evade radiotherapy. Still, the researchers caution that routine therapeutic use of AMD3100 or any other similarly acting molecule for glioblastoma is likely still years away. Brown is the senior author of the paper, published online Feb. 22 in theJournal of ...

A new method to prevent recurrence of deadly glioblastoma brain cancer shows promise, say U.S. scientists. Radiation can temporarily shrink a glioblastoma tumor, but the cancer nearly always recurs within weeks or months. Few people with this type of brain cancer survive more than two years after diagnosis.

... professor of pathology, ophthalmology, and oncology at Johns Hopkins, now extends these findings to glioblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor, and ultimately suggests other pathways and treatment with ... drugs may need to be involved. Eberhart based his conclusion on experiments in which he coaxed a glioblastoma cell line to form embryolike balls called neurospheres. Unlike most cells ...

High energy levels cause glioblastoma cells to proliferate; low levels cause them to grow less and to migrate. This study discovered that a molecule called miR-451 coordinates this grow-or ... cells' ability to invade and spread. Thus, the molecule might be a biomarker for predicting survival in patients with glioblastoma multiforme and may serve as a target to develop drugs to fight these tumors.
