According to the NCI, approximately 15,000 people are diagnosed with glioblastoma each year. The median survival of those who receive standard treatment of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation is ...

Scientists at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) and Albert Einstein College of Medicine have shown for the first time that glioblastoma—the deadliest form of brain cancer—affects ...

For the first time, scientists have detailed how a deadly brain cancer has a unique path of progression, aggressively eating away at the skull itself – and how drugs to impede this end up making it ...

Researchers who previously discovered channels in the skull have found that cerebrospinal fluid can exit the brain through these channels to reach the skull's bone marrow, which can detect and respond ...
